Today's Reading: Genesis 31

Please read Genesis 31 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 you may click this link directly for the method:Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf.

Laban also said to Jacob, "Here is this heap, and here is this pillar I have set up between you and me. This help is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap an pillar to my side to harm me." Genesis 31: 51

What I received from Jesus today is: Don't harm me and I will not harm you!

For 20 years Jacob worked for his father-in-law Laban and they came to the end of their relationship. How sad! The heap as a sign of their witness before God that I am not going to harm you if you do not harm me.

Can we have a better solution to this kind of broken relationship? Can we not bad mouth to each others but to show respect to each others in a broken relationship to honor God and to honor each others?

Let's do a better job than Laban and Jacob when we face with a broken relationship!
Lord have mercy on us!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to do a better job than Laban and Jacob to deal with broken relationship. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.


**Three days ago(Sunday) Michelle and I were having lunch with our church choir members. Our Music Director, Edmund Cheung said, "Silas, I understand what you said about the best thing in last night's Schola Cantorum Emmanuel's concert was "life". I really experienced a powerful outburst of life in all of us when we sang especially when we sang "Hallelujah" and "Worthy is the Lamb/ Amen"." Yes, it was indeed a powerful concert yesterday night. Please click the two links in this post to listen to how we praise God yesterday. The recording was just taken from a small camera and not a good recording. I'll give you the link of our official recording once Andy Li is done for the whole concert.

When we praise the Lord like that spirit in this psalm we will know the "life" and power right away of the joy we received when we praise Him! All of our Schola members and those who attended yesterday's(Saturday's) concert felt the same way that we were richly blessed when we richly praised our Lord!

Thanks to our son Ignatius who took a wonderful and powerful photo of me capturing the "life" in this concert and with his comment on his face book:

Live fully. Live passionately.
You know that feeling when you do something you love, and time seems to stand still?
It's not quite clear, but you've lost in the moment of it.

Congrats to Schola Cantorum for singing Handel's Messiah today!
