DAY 302 - To See Everything As Good


Today's Reading: Genesis 42


Please read Genesis 42 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 42&version=MSG


Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, "What is this that God has done to us?" Genesis 42:28


What I received from Jesus is the contrast between Joseph and his ten brothers and also his father. Joseph saw their brothers as good and could forgive the unforgivable sin they committed. Why? Because God was with him. His brothers saw things differently, that everything was bad and that God had done something bad to them. Even Jacob could say that everything was against him.


I have seen so many people including Christians who see everything and everyone as bad. This kind of mentality creates so many problems among family members, friends, churches, society and nations. How can we learn that to forgive and see everything and everyone as good like Joseph is a way to change our life from negative to positive, from darkness into light and from bitter to joy!



Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to follow your example that I can see everything and everyone as good and that I can accept and forgive as you forgive. 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!
