Let’s PRAY!
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
God our Creator, Author and Finisher of our souls, this passage is so encouraging after long, hard days seeing what seems like the enemy gaining and us losing ground as we battle for Your Kingdom to advance in our appointed days. Yet, here we lay it down and trust the rest, the learning we need from you. In the world, being gentle is not usually a compliment, but here we see Jesus is gentle and we rejoice in the beauty of such—not having to perform and produce, but serve through Your attributes. Yes, Your yoke is easy —the world is a task master and You are not, giving our souls the replenishment, refreshment needed to simply abide in You, our Messiah, Advocate. AMEN
