"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
Are you tired and weary? Do you feel that life has given you a heavy burden to carry? Are you working hard and not getting satisfaction for your effort? Do you feel that the yoke you are under is harsh, and pressing you to your limit? Would you like a good long rest that will refresh your soul? So many people feel that they are in a whirlwind and they are getting no where. They spend each day trying hard to catch up to yesterday or tomorrow. They are marching as hard as they can but they are not getting anywhere. They are always anxious about life and never feel that they can stop and just rest. Is there an answer to their dilemma?
When you hear the Lord calling you to come to Him, and listen, then you will have your answer. When you give the burdens of your life to the Lord Jesus Christ you will achieve relief. When you are yoked to the Lord you will find that He does the heavy pulling and He is the power in your team. The Lord wants to ease your burdens and refresh your soul. There is an important part that you must play to allow that to happen. You must let go of your burdens and give them to Him. The Lord will give you rest if you will just let Him. The Lord is humble of heart, gentle and meek and He wants your life to be peaceful and quiet. Come to Jesus, He will give you rest!
To find this rest we must learn to take His yoke upon us and join with Him in allowing our burdens to be carried. His yoke is strong and it never fails. With the Lord next to us there is no burden to heavy or hard. When we are coupled with God, all burdens become pleasant and easy to bear. It is so reassuring to know that God is yoked to us for all of our tasks and burdens. He does the heavy lifting and makes it light and easy for us if we just accept and understand the principal of teamwork. If you come to Him you will hear him say; COME AND REST!
