DAY 152 (2020) - If the Lord had not been on our side, we would have been swallowed! (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 124:1-5, 2 Samuel 17:1-29; John19:23-42; Proverbs 16:12-13)


    Today's main passages:
If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say
if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;
the flood would have engulfed us,
    the torrent would have swept over us,
the raging waters
    would have swept us away.
Psalm 124:1-5

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 today from Jesus is: If the Lord had not been on our side, we would have been swallowed!

    Today's Psalm 124 shows us what total trust to God really means. Yes, if the Lord had not been on our side, we would have been swallowed by our enemies long time ago. It is a time to count the blessings of how God has been helping us and it is a time to claim the continuous power and help from God to take us over our crisis!

    

    

今日撒母耳記下的經文描述大衛被自己最信任的參謀長及好朋友亞希多弗出賣,亞希多弗是一個極有智慧及策略的人,但他亦是在大衞因色自迷的情况下不為意亞希多弗對大衞懷恨的人,因為根㯫撒母耳記下23:34他是以蓮的父親,而撒母耳記下11:3大衞搶妻殺夫的拔士巴是以蓮的女兒,所以亞希多弗是拔士巴的祖父,是所羅門的曾祖父,此人處心積慮,早已想一有機會便除去大衛

如果神不接納大衞的認罪悔攻,在有如地震海潚的危難中奇妙地使押沙龍不接納亞希多弗的必勝殺大衞的策略,而接受大衞派來的臥底户篩救大衞的獻計,大衞一定被消滅,結果是惡人押沙龍和亞希多弗被消滅!

你相信神一定會在你的困境中有如幫助大衞一樣的幫助你嗎?


     Dear Lord Jesus,  
     Establish our steps each day that we won't step into Satan's traps. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
      求你讓我們相信你一定會在我們的困境中有如幫助大衞一樣的幫助我們
     Reflect on these questions:
     1. What have you got from today's topic "In one complete unity" or "Separate and betray" ?
     
     你聽到亞希多弗的故事,對你有何啓發
      2.  What is your next step to make that happen?
