* Hearing from God and going forward in the way of God.

 * How are your finances?  Have you heard anything from God, which way to go forward?  Have you talked with God about this?

James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

***

* Is there anything that is difficult or complicated in your life or in days approaching?  Is your yoke easy?  Or is your yoke hard?

Jesus says:

Matthew 11:

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

If your "yoke" is difficult, then you have somehow yoked yourself to plans of men rather than plans of God.  You have done that which was wise in your own eyes.

Turn to God in prayer and ask HIM to help you, to undo those burdens, to help you to go forward in HIS ways and in HIS plans.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

If anything in your life is difficult, complex, financially draining, then you are not going in the wisdom of God.  When God gives us HIS plan, it is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy.

Is there anything that troubles you?  Are you concerned about anything?

If so, pray, and settle the matter with God.  Pour out your heart to God on the matter.  Let your "requests" be made known unto God.

Philippians:6-7  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Matthew 7   Jesus says:

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
