Silence
1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.
Praise and Thanksgiving
1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"

My Listening
The assignment from the Lord to me today is "Fully obey, blessed in and out, abundant prosperity"
I think everybody wants what it is written in today's Deuteronomy 28: 6:
"You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out."
Then Deuteronomy 28:11:
"The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity"
Most people think that to acquire that we need to work very hard and needs lots of luck. But in fact, the Bible tells us the way to acquire that is "fully obey".
If you fully obey what God commands you, you would most probably experience that blessing as in today's Psalm through your being with God in His temple, meditating on His unfailing love and enjoying all those precious moment to be in His temple, His citadels and that we have witnesses to tell to our next generation.
If you fully obey what God commands you, you would most probably experience that blessing as in today's Luke. Your "eye" would be healthy, in Greek means generous. Your "eye" won't be unhealthy, in Greek means stingy. And you are able to shine for Jesus!
If you fully obey what God commands you, you would most probably experience that blessing as in today's Proverbs. You will be the wise and your tongue would bring healing and not hurting.
"Fully obey" or "partly obey", that is the question!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to fully obey your command so that we can be blessed in and out and that we will have abundant prosperity. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. Do you think your relationship with God is "fully obey" or "partly obey", or "disobey"?
2. What do you think would be the difference?
2. What do you think would be the difference?
3. What have you got from Jesus today?
