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:
These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron:
The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests. 3 With the help of Zadok a descendant of Eleazar and Ahimelek a descendant of Ithamar, David separated them into divisions for their appointed order of ministering.
1 Chronicles 24:1-3
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 to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received today is: God first, government second, military third, clear divisions!
Today's 1 Chronicles tells us how David demonstrated a good father's model to prepare for his son Solomon a nation with clear priority and divisions.
The way of how David set his priority and divisions give me a lot of inspiration!
The top No.1 priority of David was to appointed divisions for the service of the temple of God, and then we can see in tomorrow's passage that government divisions came in second and military divisions came in the third.
There are lots of countries take military power as top No. 1, then their government and nothing concerning with God!
How about you? Do you take top No. 1 priority for the service of God, then your family, then your work and other things?
Have you joined in the divisions of your church to serve the Lord?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to understand that to serve you is our first priority. Lord Jesus, lead us into the division you appointed us in our church so that we can serve you in your own team. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. How can you join in the division God appointed you so that you can serve the Lord in His way?
2. What is your next step?
