DAY 280 - Into God's Protection

Today's Reading: Genesis 20

Please read Genesis 20 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.)

Message: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 20&version=MSG

Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his slave girls so they could have children again, for the Lord had closed up every womb in Abimelech's household because of Abraham's wife Sarah. Genesis 20: 17-18

See how wonderful it was that Abraham and Sarah were in God's protection. Lots of time we may not be able to get away from crisis, sickness or even disaster. If we are willing to be in God's protection, then that should be the time for us to experience His protection.

It is such a blessing that my spiritual parents Archbishop Yong and Julia came to our home to bring Holy Communion to us, anointed and blessed us. Yes, the doctor said Michelle can go to Iggy's graduation tomorrow. And, the number Michelle showed in her blood cell count is the best for the past six weeks. It had been below 2 or even 1 for many weeks. Yesterday it was 3.8 and today it was 6.8. The nurse said that normal people should be between 4 to 7 which means Michelle is going to be in the best state to go to Iggy's graduation. Then because of her chemo, the number will drop in two days back to below 1 again. Can you believe that such timing can happen? How wonderful for us to be in His protection!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for granting so many people's prayers that Michelle can go to Ignatius' graduation and that she can be in her best state ever to attend. Thank you for this miracle to happen! Help us to know that we are always in your protection no matter what happen, and that only in you we are totally safe even at the end of our earthly life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

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 discipler. 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 discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
