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.”
"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."
“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."

Today's main passages:
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him. 47 The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.”
48 Then the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men. 49 Moreover, at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained at the royal court. Daniel 2:46-49
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice in as much as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:12-13
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passages we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received yesterday was: Close to your Gracious Lord, you can speak gracious words
The topic I received today is: Fiery ordeal, mystery revealed
From yesterday's passage of Daniel 2:16-23, Daniel could wait for God's words first, then to be able to listen to God's words, then to have the courage of saying God's words. In today's passage, we can see something real big happened after that!

The cruel King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and promoted him to be ruler over the entire province of Babylon and the head of all the wise men! More wonderful is that the King declared that Daniel's God is God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mystery!
Wow! When we face with fiery ordeal is actually the time when God works through our "Close to our Gracious Lord, we can speak gracious words" to move those people whose hearts cannot be moved to a state that they can experience that God is God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mystery!
Dear Abba Father,
Help us not to be fear of fiery ordeal anymore but to be willing for you to use us to move those people whose hearts cannot be moved to a state that they can experience that you are God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mystery . In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What kind of inspiration and invitation have you received from today's message?
2. What is your next step not to be fear of fiery ordeal anymore but to be willing for God to use you to move those people whose hearts cannot be moved to a state that they can experience that God is God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mystery?
