When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. Exodus 34: 29

People like to greet others with, "Wow, you look so well." "You are radiant today. What's happening?" For Moses, his trade mark was a radiant face. Everyone knew that he had a face to face talk to God and it was so bright that he had to have a veil on his face!

The famous Moses' blessing reviews how important it is to have a face to face talk to God. It was impossible in the Old Testament time but it is possible now, for Jesus has come and we can listen to Him and talk to him like an old friend. After day by day of this intimate relationship with Christ, we should experience the light of Christ in our face. When His face shines upon you, then everything will be different. Is your face radiant today?

"The Lord bless you and keep you;

the lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;

the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." Numbers 6: 24 - 27

Dear Lord Jesus,

Shine on me that my face can be radiant everyday with your presence and that I will never be in darkness . 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!
