DAY 1 (2017) - Jesus Is Your Only Hope (Please click here for English podcast)

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


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.”


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."

The Word (Psalm 1:1-6; Proverbs 1:1-6; Genesis 1:1-2:25; 
Matthew 1:1-2:12))







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
    When I read today's Proverbs I was thinking how much energy and money would people give if they can have all those good things as in that passage, wisdom, instruction, understanding, insight, direction, prudent behaviour and more.

No one can achieve that!

Only those who experience what Psalm 1 says and live that out.

Again, no one can achieve that! Because that is beyond human capacity!

Genesis tells us all, it is in God's creation that we should have all those good things but because we do not listen, we listen but do not follow and so we have to suffer the consequence of our rebellious and sinful nature.

Jesus is our only hope!

If we are willing to bow down and worship Jesus everyday and I am quite sure that we can receive daily instruction and direction and that we will prosper and bear fruit, much fruit!

    Dear Lord Jesus,
    Lead us each day so that we will prosper and bear fruit to glorify your Holy Name . In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

    Reflect on these questions:
   1. What are those things and people that you spend much time thinking that those things and people can give you the things that you hope for? How much time have you wasted in that way of living your daily life?

     2. How does today's topic "Jesus is your only hope" give you inspiration and direction to start a new direction in 2017?


    3. What have you got from Jesus today?
