DAY 299 - Is God with You?

Today's Reading: Genesis 39

Please read Genesis 39 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 39&version=MSG

The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Genesis 38: 2-4

Jesus asked me to ask you today, "Is God with you?" What is your answer? Of course you want to answer, "Yes, God is with me. Emmanuel." I do hope and pray that you are right. This chapter gives us some checking point whether God is with us:

1. You might experience prosperity, success and find favor in other people's eyes like Joseph. (vv. 1-6)

2. Prosperity, success and favor from other people might disappear suddenly and you will be tested like Joseph. Everything seems gone! (vv. 7-20)

3. If you pass the test like Joseph for you are with God all the time, then everything might come back again and you have a deeper level of experiencing Emmanuel. (vv. 21- 23)

Is God with you today? How are you today?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to stand firm in you and never leave you. You are my God, my Savior and my Lord of life, be with me always. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Michelle's white cell went up 0.1 today as compared to yesterday and is now 0.8, a good sign of getting back to normal (5 to 9). But she is having some pain with her teeth, pain on the upper left hand side. Please pray for that for she feels very uncomfortable.

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!
