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."

My Listening
The topic I received from Jesus today is: "Give and to Love; Take and to Betray"
What I have received today are two paths in front of us, the first one is the path towards life, the second one is the path towards death!
What Jesus walked and how He taught us as a model is the "Give and to love" path towards life, this path will lead us to be able to claim God's promise of salvation in the midst of peril danger just as what David experienced as in Psalm 22.
This path towards life led Jesus to have that kind of peace of the presence of God that He could teach His apostles right before His crucifixion of the four actions and steps of Eucharist:

1. Take
2. Bless (or give thanks)
3. Break
4. Give
Today's Exodus gives us similar message that if the Israelites are willing to give their burnt offerings to God and then God will meet with them personally and God's glory will be revealed!
Contrary, what Judas did was a path of "take and to betray" towards death! In fact, Jesus gave him the last chance in today's passage but Judas insisted on walking his own path towards death to betray Jesus and at the end it was really a path of death!

May you be able to meet God each day and in His glory because you are willing to "give and to love"!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be able to meet God each day and in His glory because we are willing to "give and to love". In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What kind of attitude are you having for being a Christian, more give and to love or more take? How can you be able to walk in the "give and to love" path of life daily but not the "take and to betray" path of death?
2. What is your next step for this to happen?
3. What have you heard from Jesus today?
