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

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:
Praise our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.

12 You let people ride over our heads;

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.

My Listening
The topic I received today from Jesus is: We went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance!
To the whole world, we are in a situation very similar to the time of David when he wrote Psalm 66. He knew that those calamities are tests of God refining him like silver, how about you? Do you know that this is the time that God is refining you as silver? And, the purpose of his test and refining is to lead you to a place of abundance, do you believe?
If you believe, then what you need to do is to follow today's Psalm, do not let your faith to be shaken, praise God and let the sound of your praise to be heard and make offerings to honor God. Then, after this test you will become someone after God's heart just like David and He will bring you to a place of abundance! Yes, it will happen to you! It will happen!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us not to be shaken in the time of your test and refining but to praise you and to offer our gifts to you, trusting that you will bring us to a place of abundance. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. How can you not to be shaken in this time of trial but to keep on praising God and offering your gifts to Him?
2. What is your next step to make that happen?
