Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
We all get overwhelmed by the loads that we are asked or expected to carry. Each of us seems to deal with it in our own way. I find, that for the most part, we do what we can in our own strength until we can't anymore and then seek rest in our own way. Here, Jesus is offering us to rest in Him. So many times we view Jesus and the church as just one more thing that we don't have time for. Make no mistake, there is great work to be done but when Jesus is there to help carry the load, it becomes an easy yoke and a light burden. He is so much stronger. He is so capable. I can do all things through him who gives me strength. - Philippians 4:13
Lord, I ask you to help us to find rest in Jesus. I pray that we lay our burdens before Him and only take what you call us to. I pray that weights would be lifted. Lord, help us to release the yoke that we carry on our own that we would no longer labor in vain. - Amen
