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."

Today's passages call us to dip into God's unfailing love and enjoy His presence day after day. I was in great joy when I read the word "priceless" !
Wow! All those things that give joy to people now days needs lots of money. Even if you want to enjoy a piece of real "Kobe" beef, almost US$200 to $500 a piece, crazy! Not mentioning an expensive car and a big house!
But, all those things will passed away, vanished and no more in a short while. Only God's love is eternal and unfailing and it is priceless! Though lots of time we do not cherish His priceless unfailing love.
The Lord gave me a picture this morning using Psalm 36:9 "For with you is the fountain of life". I saw a big, big fountain and those who attended this morning's TWA and Fire on the Altar brothers and sisters were so joyfully stood in the middle of this fountain, opening our mouths to let the water from the fountain to just pour into our mouths, our heads and shoulders. Wow! What a glorious picture! And then, the Lord gave me Psalm 36:8"They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights."
You do not have to pay anything to come to our daily Time with Abba. What a feast each day on the abundance of His house!
Thank you Lord Jesus!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to enter into the feast on the abundance of your house and pour down your living water from your river of delights to us each day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
