Rest For Your Soul

It’s easy to worry about the burdens, trials, and events of the world. We all deal with stress, worries, and difficulties which in turn can lead to a lot of weight on our shoulders. As we read Matthew 11:28-30, hear what Jesus has to say.

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Jesus frees us from all of our burdens, and gives us rest through his love which brings us peace. We have this unending peace as a result of our understanding of the purpose we have on earth. We are called to be a light in this world. As a believer in Christ, we understand the importance of living for the eternal versus the temporal. We are here to make in impact for the kingdom of God, and any platform the Lord blesses us with should be used to glorify him!

What burdens are you dealing with right now? Are you calling on Jesus to give you rest from these burdens or are you trying to lean on human understanding? Allow God to control the uncontrollable, and control what you can control.

Application:
1. Read Matthew 11:28-30
2. Let God be God!
