Today's Reading: Job 17

Please read Job 17 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 Job 17:
"My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me. Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility. Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me?" Job 17: 1-3


What I received from Jesus today is: Burn out because you do not support!

Poor Job, he was completely burn out! But why? He did not have a single soul to support him and he had all kinds of people mocking him and he was surrounded by hostility! Have you seen eyes of hostility? Especially those eyes of hostility are from your friends, how sad!

Please examine yourself today if you have that kind of mocking mentality and the eyes of hostility to other people. It so easy that we become a tool, a weapon working for Satan to destroy our pastors and friends. We need to be a channel of His peace and give support to our pastors and friends. We all need your love, care, understanding, support and most important, prayers! Pray that you do not have that kind of mocking mentality and the eyes of hostility!

The past four nights I slept at 4a.m. and woke up early in the morning to finish my papers of my last Fuller D. Min. course. Yesterday I got quite a number of emails from those friends who knew that I was working hard for that paper without much sleep. They all worried that I would burn out because of that. I am so thankful to the Lord for their prayers to support me for that final dash! And thank you for you care, love, understanding, support and prayers all through these two years since I wrote this blog. Without that I should be already burn out long time ago! And, please fill up the new 800 days prayer campaign. Really need your prayers and you need to know every prayer counts. They really protect me, bless me and give me encouragements and strength to run the race for Christ! Don't worry, I'll have a lot of rest the coming few days. Thanks!!!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Make us instruments of your peace so that we can bring love, care, understanding and support to our pastors and friends. And most of all, encourage us to pray for them daily. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
