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."

PAUSE HERE!!!
Please read all four passages first before reading my sharing.

Please see below the passages I copied today:
How do you respond to Him as He is saying you now, "I have
prepared a great reward to you!"
1. I hope you will say, "Yes, I want that!"
2. I think you will ask, "What should I do to have your reward, Lord?"
Today's all four passages are focus on the relationship of God and us.
Today's Psalm tells us that if we can keep God's commandments we will have His great reward.
Today's Exodus tells us about how God gave the Ten Commandments so that we can be in His Kingdom and sovereignty.
Today's Matthew tells us how the Pharisees and teachers of law shut the door of God's Kingdom not letting people to go in.
Today's Proverbs tells us that if we can keep God's commandments we
will receive God's great reward and that reward is LIFE.
That's is like what Jesus says in today's Matthew of how the hen gathers her chicks under her wings, that is our daily and every moment intimate relationship with Jesus!
Do you want this great reward!
Have you already received this great reward?
My Listening
