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."
The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 106:40-48, Isaiah 51:1-53:12; Ephesians 5:1-33; Proverbs 24:7)
Today's main passage:
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Ephesians 5:1-2
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:1-6
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 to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received from Jesus today is: Do you want to receive peace like a river?
如何效法主耶穌去愛?
保羅説要效法主耶穌，活出在主愛中的新生命，亦即主耶穌如何愛我們，我們就願意效法他的愛，保羅就是效法主愛的一個榜様。
以賽亞書 52:13-53:12是著名的四首僕人之歌的第四首，是先知以賽亞在耶穌出生前七百年預言彌賽亞降生時他如何愛我們的描述，其他三首在 42:1-9, 49:1-13 及50:4-11。
你有想過原來你要效法主耶穌的僕人就是你也要那樣的受苦嗎? 保羅就是效法主愛去受苦的一個榜様。
有很多人會説: "嘩! 信耶穌要咁受苦，唔係會好好，得到好多嘢㗎，咁我唔信囉!"
所以我今日的領受就是二方面:
1. 你願不願意由為自己得着多少去信耶穌的心態，更新改變為願意受苦犧牲去愛耶穌的心態，效法主耶穌，效法保羅。
2. 你會不會因不明白，也不願意願意受苦犧牲去愛耶穌，以致好像當時的人，甚至是保羅親自栽培的基督徒，使主的僕人受苦，使主的教會受苦?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be teachable that we can receive your peace like a river. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

Reflect on these questions:
1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?
2. What is your next step to be more closer to God?
