DAY 205 - Let All God's Angels Worship Him





Please click this NEW LINK to pray for us(March 9, 2010 to June 16)!!!

Today’s Reading: Hebrews 1

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage Christians to have daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus. There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:
1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.

2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters)to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day.

I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.

3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a disciple. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online disciple to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!


Please read Hebrews 1 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method:Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf . (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." Hebrews 1: 6

Athanasius asked Michelle and I when we were having our family daily devotion tonight, "Are there bad angels?"

Who do you think that Satan and his following angels are? Who do you think that Paul is talking about here:

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6: 12

This chapter is about the supremacy of Jesus. Jesus is above everything and above all angels. Do you know that when we are worshiping Jesus, we are worshiping Him with all the angels? Do you have the gifts to feel the presence of the angels when worshiping Him? It would be wonderful if you know when you are worshiping Jesus Christ our Lord, we are worshiping with the angels in heavenly light and glory!

Dear Lord Jesus,
I love you Lord, and I lift my voice. To worship you, o my soul, rejoice! Take joy, my King, in all you hear. May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear. Amen.
