Catching Up

Why I Review and Catch Up on Spiritual Articles

In our walk of faith, reflection is a powerful tool. Reviewing past spiritual writings is not simply an exercise in nostalgia—it is an act of spiritual growth, gratitude, and continued learning. When I take time to revisit the spiritual articles I’ve written, I’m reminded of where God has brought me from, the lessons He has taught me, and the truths that have shaped my journey.

Why It Matters

The Word of God is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12), and the same can be said for Spirit-filled writings. What God inspired in me years ago still carries weight today—sometimes even more than when I first penned it. Reviewing old spiritual articles allows me to:

• Reconnect with Past Revelations – Sometimes we forget the depth of wisdom God gave us in a certain season. Revisiting those words refreshes my mind and spirit.

• Measure Spiritual Growth – Reading what I wrote before shows me how my faith has matured, how my understanding has deepened, and how I’ve overcome challenges with God’s help.

• Encourage Others in the Present – Truth doesn’t expire. What blessed me then can bless someone else today.

• Guard Against Forgetting God’s Goodness – We are quick to move forward, but remembering where we’ve been keeps us grateful and humble.

The Joy in Looking Back

There is something incredibly rewarding about reading my own past spiritual reflections. I smile when I recall how God turned struggles into testimonies, tears into lessons, and prayers into answered blessings. It is like leafing through a scrapbook of faith—each article a snapshot of God’s work in my life.

Often, I find myself encouraged by my own words, not because they are mine, but because they are reminders of God’s faithfulness. An article written in a moment of struggle might now bring comfort in a season of uncertainty. A piece written in joy might reignite my passion to praise.

A Strong Call to Action

I encourage you—don’t let your old writings, journal entries, or reflections gather dust. Go back. Read them. Share them again. You never know how a word from the past could speak life into your present—or into someone else’s heart today.

Reposting or re-sharing older spiritual articles isn’t repeating the past—it’s keeping God’s truth alive in the present. We often think new content is what people need, but sometimes it’s the timeless truth we’ve already been given that makes the biggest impact.

A Reminder for the Journey

Spiritual growth is not only about pressing forward—it is also about remembering, reviewing, and reinforcing what God has already revealed. In doing so, we keep our faith rooted and our perspective clear.

Joshua 4:6–7 reminds us that the memorial stones placed by the Jordan River were to serve as a sign for future generations—a tangible reminder of what God had done. Your spiritual writings are your memorial stones. Cherish them.

Conclusion

Reviewing and catching up on spiritual articles is more than a personal habit—it’s a form of worship, gratitude, and discipleship. It’s about honoring the words God gave me then, so that they can continue to speak now.

So I will keep reviewing, re-reading, and sharing these articles—because they are not just pages from my past; they are living testimonies of God’s unfailing love and guidance.

Let’s remember together. Let’s grow together. Let’s keep stepping out on faith, trusting God—yesterday, today, and always.
