DAY 171 (2019) - Someone drew his bow at random and hit Ahab between the sections of his armor and he died (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 shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “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, Time with Abba (Psalm 136:1-9; 1 Kings 22:1-53; Acts 13:16-41, Proverbs 17:17-18)




Today's main passage:
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, “Surely this is the king of Israel.” So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat cried out, 33 the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel and stopped pursuing him.
34 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, “Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I’ve been wounded.” 35 All day long the battle raged, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.    1 Kings 22:30-35 

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.

My Listening
Yesterday's topic is: Trust in the Lord, wicked as Ahab had victory, bad as Saul became Paul 

Today we look at a ridiculous example just opposite to yesterday's topic. Even though God gave many chances for Ahab to repent but he insisted to be wicked. So, because of his not listening to Micaiah the prophet's warning and he used his own way to enter the battle in disguise. Anyway, when God acted, no one can get away!

Someone drew his bow at random and hit Ahab between the sections of his armor and he died!

Oh! People, why you are so foolish! Return to God and obey His command!

Dear Lord Jesus,
     Help us to trust in you that we can have victory each day and that we won't be deceived by Satan to step into his trap tailor-made for us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Reflect on these questions:
1. What kind of warning have you received from today's message?
2.  What is your action to trust in the Lord each day that you won't be deceived by Satan to step into his trap tailor-made for you?
