Today, I am asking you, "Are you weary?" I have been so weary these last few weeks. The change in my medication and my not seeking Jesus has weighted me down!
Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus states, "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 by burden is light." Some of us might not know what a "yoke" is. It was used to keep two oxen together when plowing a field. Usually, made of wood and placed on the neck of the oxen. Then the framer could control the direction of the oxen with ropes faceted on the yoke.
Jesus is asking us to, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me." When we are yoked with Jesus, we have a Savior who is willing to take our burdens and give us rest. Jesus is able to be gentle with us and help us to humble ourselves.
I know that there might be issues in our lives that are difficult to give to Jesus. I want to encourage you to ask Him everyday to help you give everything to Him. Honestly, I am dealing with this in my own life right now! Day by day, I am asking Jesus to take my weariness and my burdens from me.
Keep reading your bible. Those of you who do not have a bible, keep praying to Jesus and yoke up with Him!
I am His,
David Walter Wiseman
