DAY 118 (2020) - Give us aid against COVID-19, for human help is worthless! (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 and having Jesus as my Lord. 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 60:5-12, Judges 7:1-8:17; Luke 23:13-43; Proverbs 14:7-8)


    Today's main passage:
      
     Save us and help us with your right hand,
 that those you love may be delivered.

                
11         Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.
12        With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down our enemies.

      Psalm 60:5,11-12



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
    The topic I received today from Jesus is: Give us aid against COVID-19, for human help is worthless!

    Psalm 60 describes a fierce battle to make David famous as recorded in 2 Samuel 8:13-14. It is strange that David did not claim the victory himself but to God!

    Why?

    Because from all the sufferings and disasters in his life, at last he understands that human help is worthless. When he becomes God's beloved and when he faces with disaster and cry out to God, even though his enemies with great power, God will help him and he will gain victory. This is David's secret of success!

    How about you?

    How can you establish an intimate relationship with the Lord that in the midst of this pandemic, He will help you and you will gain victory!

     
     Dear Lord Jesus,  
     Lead us to have an intimate relationship with you that we can gain victory in this severe spiritual warfare. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
    
     Reflect on these questions:
     1. How can you have an intimate relationship with the Lord that you can gain victory in this severe spiritual warfare?
     
      2.  What is your next step to make that happen?
