His Yoke

Good Morning,

Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
"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."

I'm running very late this morning. We're having a "Group Fair" at our church today so Betty and I have to be at all the services as we're facilitating a Small Group this short summer semester. Now, I know that God fully understands where I'm at this morning because He caused these particular verses to cross my desk. Not that I'm all that weary or burdened today, but, well, I believe that we can ALL use the kind of rest that only Jesus can offer.

What I'd ask of all of us today would be to read and then reread these verses and allow the Holy Spirit to give you meaning and understanding that only He can provide. Jesus gives us true and complete rest. The yoke He asks us to take on and the burden that He bids us to carry are, as He said, are easy and light.

Love and caring for one another, I think, would be at least a part of what Jesus is asking of us. We can do that. If we will do that...love and care...we will be doing exactly as God would have us to do and definitely acting just a bit more like Jesus in our actions.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
