Scripture
Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”.
Observation
Jesus gives the invitation to come to Him and He will give rest. He says He will teach those who come, and there will be a new way of living ~ a easy yoke and a light load.
Application
I think that this is the very thing I have been searching for; to really discover how to pastor with an easier yoke, a lighter load, and a rested soul. This shouldn't be so wearying. This north American pressure of stress and busy and noise and worry. It weighs heavy on a person. It NEEDLESSLY weighs heavy on a person. Jesus. Ate to set me free from needless weight, so may I learn to live in His rest, walk united WITH Jesus, not just for Jesus, and to carry what He has given me, not what I or others have laid upon me.
Prayer
Lord, please teach me this. You said to come to You and You would teach. Please help me come and learn.
