Nowadays, it was greatly distressing to know that people have failed to obey what God has instructed them. First reason is because of lack of knowledge and ignorance since God's command is not being taught aside from church services. Second thing is because people lack interest in reading God's word. People don't give much attention to the verse "Don't let the Book of the Law Depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and night".
In effect, people have probably disobeyed all the law, and continue disobeying. For now, let us not talk about ignorance and lack of knowledge, lets talk about the command that God is ordering us everyday.
At the time we woke up, I am quite sure that God has prepared something for us to do that day. We all know that we are all made for God's purposes, so whether we like it or not, there is something that we need to accomplish for God everyday. What are those? Of course it's only you who can tell, what's important is that God has a message for you.
How do we respond to God? He may not speak always through audible voice, but HIS impression and visions speaks ore louder than words. The question is, do we respond to God's call?
Let me give you some examples:
1.)Impression about helping someone.
2.)Impression of sharing God's blessings.
3.)Conviction about sharing the word the moment we are talking to a certain person.
4.)Conviction of reading God's word.
What's written above are just some of the few examples. As for my own experience, God normally speaks to us with the word that we need to share the gospel, right? Whenever we get the message from God, do we really follow Him and share His word?
Unfortunately, most people do not respond. The do not take off their pride and just pretend that God did not tell them something.
We are truly lucky at this point in time where we can freely learn from God and share the word to others. But with all those freedom, we still fail to acknowledge this kind of favor that God gave us. For some countries where bible is prohibited, there are a few who strongly break their laws just to follow the God they believe in. I guess you have heard many being imprisoned, jailed and killed because of their faith. Not matter how hard those hardships they face, the love for God still remains.
As I was reading the book of Daniel, I was truly blessed how godly individuals followed God though they are faced to death. Have you heard the story about "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego"? If not, they are the ones who refused to bow to the gods made from gold though they will be facing death by being thrown in the "fire and blazing furnace".Believe me, this were not pastors or old people in their time. They were young and probably a youth then.
Will all those struggles, they stood up straight and told the King directly that they will not bow with the gods. And here is what's interesting in the story, they told the king from (Daniel 3:17-18 "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.")
This is what they believe in, no matter what happens, whether God save their lives or not, still they strongly refuse to bow with the gods because of their faith in God.
For me, this is what it takes to have full obedience. We do not have the right to barter chances with God, whether he saves us or not, we need to stay strong in our faith. In our everyday life, do we respond to God like these 3 young men?
Take Note:
It takes faith and courage to follow someone who is unseen. But always remember that God may not be seen for now, but His presence is more than enough to prove that He is existing.
Hebrews 11:1 " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Why am I discussing faith? It is because without faith, it will be hard for us to obey like those young men. Unless we have strong faith, we can never respond to hardships the way Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did.

He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly. Proverbs 14:29
Have you ever had one of those days where you started out groggy, as if in slow motion? I woke up tired this morning. As I sat in my chair and began to read my online Bible, I was even more tired. Coffee did not help. I felt like I was swimming against the current. My insides were trying but my reflexes were not responding. I was having a hard time comprehending and focusing on what I was reading. Even my prayers were challenging, as my mind kept wandering. The day seemed to flow with the same kind of beat. Traffic seemed extra slow and congested. Red lights were longer than normal. And my computer…the little hour glass icon next to the cursor became a great nuisance as I tried to double click through files and pages. My irritation and frustration grew at top speed while everything else around me crawled at a snail’s pace. As my day is fast coming to a close, I am still tired and still in slow motion. What does the Lord want me to learn from this kind of day?
Several verses in the Bible include the word “slow,” but are often followed by the words “to anger.” Why? Because we tend to get angry very quickly. Also, when we act on impulse, we usually act foolishly. The more anxious we get at times, the more likely we are to behave rashly. The end result is not good, not to mention who gets hurt in the middle. We must learn the self-control to be “slow to wrath” and slow to anger. We must learn to recognize the triggers in our environment and circumstances that tempt us to lose control and react in the heat of the moment. For me and my day, the Lord reminded me of these lessons.
Since I woke up in slow motion, He meant for me to go with His flow, not mine. Today, God wanted me to slow down, sit longer at lights, and even wait on my computer to respond. Instead of impulsively getting upset, He wanted me to think about Him during those moments, talk to Him and let Him talk back. Instead of talking to the Lord, I was wondering just when that red light was going to turn green.
Today, and any day, when you are sitting in traffic, at a long light or waiting for service somewhere, stop and talk to the Lord. God has set your day in motion for His purposes. It is okay to go slow, especially when circumstances pull at our emotions. If you go with His flow and follow His tempo, you will end your day with peace and joy, instead of regrets and fatigue.
Our mission is to evangelize the lost and awaken the saved to live empowered lives by the Work of God and His Holy Spirit. Daily Disciples Ministries makes a difference for the kingdom of God by teaching and training believers how to be in God's Word, how to pray and how to walk with Jesus every day, as His daily disciple.

Going Through Spiritual Confusion

Jesus answered and said, ’You do not know what you ask’ Matthew 20:22
There are times in your spiritual life when there is confusion, and the way out of it is not simply to say that you should not be confused. It is not a matter of right and wrong, but a matter of God taking you through a way that you temporarily do not understand. And it is only by going through the spiritual confusion that you will come to the understanding of what God wants for you.
The Shrouding of His Friendship (see Luke 11:5-8 ). Jesus gave the illustration here of a man who appears not to care for his friend. He was saying, in effect, that is how the heavenly Father will appear to you at times. You will think that He is an unkind friend, but remember?He is not. The time will come when everything will be explained. There seems to be a cloud on the friendship of the heart, and often even love itself has to wait in pain and tears for the blessing of fuller fellowship and oneness. When God appears to be completely shrouded, will you hang on with confidence in Him?
The Shadow on His Fatherhood (see Luke 11:11-13 ). Jesus said that there are times when your Father will appear as if He were an unnatural father?as if He were callous and indifferent— but remember, He is not. "Everyone who asks receives . . ." ( Luke 11:10 ). If all you see is a shadow on the face of the Father right now, hang on to the fact that He will ultimately give you clear understanding and will fully justify Himself in everything that He has allowed into your life.
The Strangeness of His Faithfulness (see Luke 18:1-8 ). "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" ( Luke 18:8 ). Will He find the kind of faith that counts on Him in spite of the confusion? Stand firm in faith, believing that what Jesus said is true, although in the meantime you do not understand what God is doing. He has bigger issues at stake than the particular things you are asking of Him right now.

“The One who comes from above is greater than all.”
John 3:31
The idea that a virgin would be selected by God to bear himself…The notion that God would don a scalp and toes and two eyes…The thought that the King of the universe would sneeze and burp and get bit by mosquitoes…It’s too incredible. Too revolutionary. We would never create such a Savior. We aren’t that daring.
When we create a redeemer, we keep him safely distant in his faraway castle. We allow him only the briefest of encounters with us. We permit him to swoop in and out with his sleigh before we can draw too near. We wouldn’t ask him to take up residence in the midst of a contaminated people. In our wildest imagination we wouldn’t conjure a king who becomes one of us.
But God did.

I Corinthians 13:4-8a
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Building from His Blueprints
This past Christmas, we left the evergreens and snow in Minnesota for the cactus and desert temperatures of Arizona. Instead of being surrounded by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins for our annual Christmas Day party, we spent the day with strangers. My husband and I, along with his parents, and our three daughters, spent part of the day serving dinner to the homeless on a vacant parking lot in the middle of Tucson. Our celebration was certainly out of the ordinary.
My 10-year old daughter Melanie, touched by the experience, wrote an email to her Minnesota cousin and asked me to edit it before she hit the send button. It read: “Christmas Day was great. We went to church and then served dinner to the homely people.”
I bit my lip and smiled. “Melanie,” I questioned, “Do you know what homely means?”
She admitted that she didn’t. As soon as I explained, her eyes widened and her hand quickly covered her mouth. “Oops! I didn’t mean that! I meant homeless!” We giggled at the error, made the correction, and sent it off.
Personally I can think of many errors I made on Christmas Day as I reached out to the homeless. I felt awkward in knowing what to do, what to say, or how to encourage and build these people up. I watched other volunteers do it so well. I wanted to be as perfect and accomplished as they were, but I was painfully aware that I fell short.
God gave us His Word, the Bible, as a blueprint for how to build others up. Rereading 1 Corinthians 13, I noticed that the Bible’s love chapter never instructs us to love perfectly. It can’t be done! Only Jesus loves with perfection!
So how do we love and build others up using God’s blueprints? We love others like Jesus did by being patient and kind. We strip envy, boasting, and pride from our thoughts and conversations. We strive to not be rude, self-seeking or easily angered. We never keep track of all the wrongs others have done against us. We hate evil and delight in the truth. We love with a love that always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres. That kind of love is like God’s love, and it will never fail. It will never fall short.
What’s keeping you from building others up? Don’t let your desire for perfection become a roadblock to obeying God’s command to build others up. Meditate on 1 Corinthians 13 and then go and love others like Jesus loves you.
Today’s Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank You for the blueprints in Your Word that show me how to love and build others up. Please help me to encourage others up by loving them with patience and kindness. Keep me from envy, boasting and pride. Help me to be quick to forgive and slow to become angry. Lead and guide me in the greatest and most excellent way: a life of loving You and loving others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

WHY AFFLICTON…BLESSING IN DIGUISE

“Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now have I kept thy word.” Psalm 119:67
How descriptive are David’s words that express the experience many have had in their lives. God in His infinite grace reached into our life, and through some heart-rending experience, brought us to an awareness of our sin, our careless independence, and drew us unto Himself. Often, God uses “affliction” to bring us to the end of “our” way, only that we might find the joy and blessing of “His Way.”
The writer of Hebrews says, “No chastening is for the present seems joyous, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them that are exercised thereby.” [Heb.12:11] When in God’s permissive will, affliction befalls us, He squeezes the grapes, as it were, and out comes the wine. Most of us only see the wine. But the “process” that God has put us through (unto those who are exercised thereby) produces the joy, strength, and peace only HE can create.
When the Spirit of God reigns supreme within our hearts, it is unconquerable! What a glorious result, when with a yielded and submissive spirit we “go through the process” of His doing! “But He knows the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” [Job 23:10]
Job spoke of his dilemma, as God allowed Satan to do what he could, except to take his life. “I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by the neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.” [Job 16:12]. What a thorough cleansing God did in his heart! Job cries out …“I have heard thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.” [Job 42:5] When the scales were removed from his eyes during his affliction ... HE SAW GOD IN HIS HOLINESS !
Then, he saw how vile and corrupt he was in the light of a Holy God. “I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes.” [Job 42:6]. His deliverance and exceeding great joy were “disguised in the process of affliction” that God allowed. Then we read, “The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the first.” His affliction, permitted by God, was a blessing in disguise. It was all in the Providence of God.
Afflictions, testings, and trials are not joyous experiences. Look at Moses and his commitment. “By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he ‘persevered’ because he saw Him who is invisible.” [Heb. 11:24-27]
The discernment God gave Moses pierced the illusory shallowness of the superficial enjoyment of sin for a season. His eyes were on Jehovah; regardless of what affliction he might have to endure. He knew God was in control and would order the events of his life. We are no less precious to God than Job, Moses, David, or Paul.
When we encounter affliction, may our hearts be subject to His Providential Care, and find “IN” these trying times the ‘hidden treasures’ of His plan and purpose. How glorious!
