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.”
"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 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."

Today's main passage:
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:
3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
Deuteronomy 28:1-6
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: Fully obey, you will be blessed!
Deuteronomy 28 is a very encouraging chapter but also a very frightening chapter. The first 14 verses tells us that if you fully obey God you will be blessed in eveything. You will be blessed when you come in and you will be blessed when you go out. And, God will grant you abundant prosperity!
The last 54 verses is extremely frightening, because if you do not obey God then you will be cursed. You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out. And, God will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses(verses 59), until you are destroyed(verse 61)!
Wow! Is COVID-19 that kind of fearful plagues, prolonged disasters and lingering illnesses? I think so!
Then, you must be thinking how can you get rid of this fearful plague, right?
Well, God tells us very clearly in Deuteronomy 28:1, two words "Fully obey"!
Of course you want to be blessed no matter you go out or you come back. Of course you want God to grant you abundant prosperity!
But, do you know what "fully obey" means? Do you really fully obey?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Teach us to know what is fully obey and lead us to be willing to fully obey your commands. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. How can you know what "fully obey" really is and be willing to fully obey?
2. What is your next step to make that happen?
