Today's Reading: Genesis 47

Please read Genesis 47 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 47&version=MSG

"But when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried." "I will do as you say," he said. "Swear to me," he said. Then Joseph swore to him, and Israel worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. Genesis 46: 3-4

How blessed is an obedient son! Joseph brought his father back to a relationship Jacob had before but forgot. Joseph saved his whole family for his close relationship with God and how he passed all those tests and temptations. And, Joseph obeyed what Jacob told him to do when he died without a question. Even he was then the lord of Pharaoh's entire household and ruler of all Egypt he obeyed his father by just, "Yes Sir!" An obedient son can bring many blessings!

Although I could not be with my two sons yesterday, I received a lovely e-mail Father Day's greeting from Ignatius and I deeply thank God for we have two wonderful sons!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for giving Michelle and me two wonderful and faithful sons. Please help them that they can have wonderful and faithful children. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

The good news is Michelle had a very good blood test report. Her white cell went up to 4. Her platelets down a little bit to 320. Her hemoglobin went up from 80 to 117. And baby white cell up from 0.9 to 2.5. The bad news is that she is going to have her 3rd chemo next Monday. The best news is that she does not have to do another bone marrow test before her 3rd chemo! Praise the Lord!

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!
