DAY 281 - God Has Brought Me Laughter












Today's Reading: Genesis 21


Please read Genesis 21 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.)

Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me." Genesis 21: 6


The impossible became possible! Abraham had Isaac when he was a hundred years old! The laugh here in chapter was quite different from what Sarah had in chapter 18. There in chapter Sarah was like, "Ha, ha! Really, I can have a son next year? Ha, ha! No way!" Then in this chapter was like, "Wow! Great! Wonderful! It really happened! Thank you Lord! Ha, ha, ha..."


Praise the Lord, Michelle was able to be at Ignatius' UBC graduation and she laughed, laughed a lot! See how Michelle smiled and laughed, that was awesome! And all of us laughed with her! Because we all know that without all your prayers, this might not have happened! Thank you Lord and thank you for your continuous prayers! Please pray on that Michelle can be completely healed!


Could you do me a favor today please? Could you click the link below and sing "How Great is our God" with Michelle and me to praise the Lord! No matter you are in Canada, Hong Kong, America, Australia, England or any place that we can offer our praise together for He is a Great God! Amen! Amen!



Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for granting so many people's prayers that Michelle could attend Ignatius' graduation and that she was in her best state ever today. Thank you for this miracle to happen! Help us to know only you can change the impossible into possible and only you can make us laugh in awe. 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!
