Today's Reading: Genesis 50

Please read Genesis 50 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.)

But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children." And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. Genesis 50: 19-21

We are so easily surrounded by the hurts, bitterness, unforgiveness and anger because we were being cursed, mistreated and bullied by others. So many people are living in the darkness of cursing other people and seeing things always in a negative way. But, what Joseph had was such a big heart to forgive, to accept and also to provide. We need to have the total trust in God like Joseph so that our lives will turn every curse into blessings.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to have a big heart as Joseph that I can be your channel to turn curses to blessings. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Michelle would like you to see her recent photo before her 3rd chemo next Monday. She won't look that good next week for the chemo will once again kick her back to the bottom and she needs two to three weeks back to normal. She is very normal today. The readings are all good: while cell 4.4, baby white cell 3.0, read blood cell 115 and platelet 229. Well, we ask all of you to pray that she does not need her 3rd chemo but the doctor said she has to do it. So, please pray that the 3rd chemo will be the last one and she can be fully recovered. Thanks!

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!
