Well, today was a day of rest in the physical routine and tomorrow begins the 4th week which is a recovery week. It simply means no heavy weight lifting but just cardio, plyometrics, kenpo and, of course, yoga...it gives your muscles time to heal, recover, grow, etc.
I will get a good week off, just at the right time, thanks to the Labor Day holiday coming up. My diet is really paying off! I have lost 16 pounds! Yea and I really feel great. I am beginning to see some good results which are keeping me going. I know the 6th week will be tough again as it will begin a new phase of the training program...but I am ready! Bring it! LOL
I am into 1 Samuel now in my reading through the Bible in 90 days as well. I read today about how Samuel was chosen by God to be the next prophet of Israel. It is interesting how God speaks to a child and the child is willing to follow more trustworthy than an adult. Then the transition of power to a King of Israel, Saul. The people of Israel just had to have a leader to follow. They couldn't just hear from God's appointed prophet...had to be a King. So, Saul took that position and ended in misery due to his unfaithfulness to God's command.
Isn't it funny how we, even today, want "signs" or other visible things to demonstrate God's voice to us? We seem not to accept the Spirit alone. We seem not to accept His leader for our church. We seem not to trust and obey. Why is this? Why are we so like the Israelites at times?
God doesn't want us to be this way. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to love Him. He wants us to obey Him in all things. When we do this, I believe He chooses to "let us in" on things that we otherwise wouldn't. Not that it always happens this way, yet I think God grins and smiles down on us when He sees our obedience and blesses us more than we deserve! So let's obey...and be blessed!
