Matthew 19:26, “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

Happy Saturday and Day 16 of our challenge!

It is another beautiful weekend here in North Carolina – God has been so good!

I trust that your challenge has been going well. You have come a long way since day 1. It is a blessing that we have made it this far, and are encouraged to stick with the plan. Not only through the end of the 21 days, but as our new lifestyle. A balanced lifestyle.

With God, we can achieve a balance that will propel us to the next level. This last week of the challenge, let us focus on hearing from God. Yes, we will continue to have our devotions, exercise time, and eat healthy – every day. But we also want to focus more on hearing from God. As the scripture says, Matthew 11:15, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

How can we do this? Turn off the noise that blocks us from hearing God. Turn off programs, music, literature, and people who are a distraction. When are too busy hearing and spending time with these distractions that we cannot hear God. Then, see your heart (ear) to hear from God. Expand your devotion so that it includes an atmosphere of praise and worship. Once you have welcomed the presence of God in and are basking in his presence – just listen. I guarantee God is saying something to you.

It is a good idea to have a note book handy as you may want to write down what you hear the Lord saying.

Have a blessed Saturday!!
