Commentary from Pastor Michael White:

“Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Write in a book for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you.’– Jer 30:2

The book was for Jeremiah. We all benefit; but he was the original intended reader of everything that was recorded.

Write God’s promises down. Something happens when you record His spoken word. When you write it down, whatever God has spoken becomes lasting and permanent. It cannot fleetingly come and go, as would a thought or a conversation.

When you write it down, it becomes hard evidence: immutable and irrevocable.

“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.” – Hab 2:2

Prayer:

Father, remind me to write down Your promises. When I record Your word, it’s as good as gold! Help me to write what You have spoken, and to act on what I have written, in Jesus’ name.
