Today's Reading: 1 Samuel 18
Please read 1 Samuel 18 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.)

Please click the links below to 1 Samuel 18:
Saul was very angry; this refrain galled him. "They have credited David with tens of thousands," he thought, "but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?" And from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
1 Samuel 17: 45


I always do not understand why Saul couldn't feel happy because he had a good, perhaps the best assistant who was David. Jesus opened my eyes today, telling me that is the story of every human being! Because of our insecurity, history of being hurt and betrayed and bathing in the pool of bitterness and darkness, it is so easy for anyone of us to have a jealous eye on other people. The "eye" using singular number means the eye of your heart, your soul. When we have a jealous eye on someone, then that someone would become your enemy and everything you see about that person would be worse and worse!

Do you have anyone you are jealous of? If you do, most of the time you won't know! How do you know? Only a personal intimate relationship with God and no other way, because that's the job of the Holy Spirit to reveal this. Once the Holy Spirit left Saul, then Saul got blind and had a jealous eye on David. Once we do not have the Holy Spirit to shine on us and to be with us, then we are blind and the Deceiver could give us a jealous eye to pull you down to the pit of darkness! You need to ask Jesus to pour down His blood to open your eye so that you can really see!

Dear Holy Spirit,
Shine on me that I can see and that I won't have a jealous eye on anyone. 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!
