There are moments of revelation in life; spiritual mountain-top moments when you see things very clearly. In these moments you should do something to mark the experience and help you remember the insights and revelations. These clear moments have a way of receding as we get distracted and lost again in our inevitable inner conflicts. What was so vividly true and impacting starts to fade into the darkness of abstraction. What you felt and tasted so vividly in the moment of revelation begins to dissolve under the weight of encroaching selfish agendas. When a mountain climber traverses to a certain height, he drives a bolt into the rock and connects his rope to it so that he can return to that same spot more easily if he falls. This is what Asa is doing here. He has seen God’s saving hand and he has heard the voice of God through the prophet. Now he makes a covenant with God and records this covenant as a testimony for himself and his people. He also repairs the temple. I would encourage you to do the same in these moments. Make a covenant with God asking him to do whatever it may take to get you back to that point if you should fall away. Journal your insights and revelations. Write down your commitments and prayers. Give yourself something to clasp onto in the future.
Write down your commitment and prayer to God.
