“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.” Matthew 11:29-30 (NASB)
Life can become very arduous and difficult. Our circumstances, situations and happenings can bear down upon us. Jesus cares about us and this is an invitation extended by Him to those who are weary and over-loaded. It was part of His teaching when He was here on earth. The illustration He uses is the common practice of joining two animals together to accomplish needed task. An inexperienced animal would learn how to pull together with one that knew how. Jesus wants to bring us close to Himself so that we will learn how to accomplish God’s will under His teaching. He wants us to learn how to work with Him for our own good. And as we work closely with Him we learn to trust Him to help us live as we should. And in trusting Him we will have peace and spiritual rest. Let us respond to Him today for He promises that His yoke is easy and His burden is light because He is with us.
