My brother Kevin’s recent exhortation (“Stop The Madness!”) was still prominent on my heart this morning when I came across a familiar Scripture passage:
“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.” – Matthew 11:28-30
Have I found rest for my soul? If not, that’s a strong indicator that I have not taken upon myself Jesus’ yoke. I desire to find rest for my soul, and to learn from Jesus, yet I often find unrest in my soul.
What is upon my shoulders instead of the yoke of Jesus, who is gentle and humble in heart? Why are those other things upon my shoulders instead of the yoke of Jesus? What can I do to remove those things from my shoulders, freeing them for the yoke of Jesus?
