Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Are you tired? Are the worries and cares of life dragging you down?
How about sin? Are you caught up in sin that’s causing you to feel guilty or condemned?
We all have things that we wrestle with. Sometimes it might be financial burdens. Sometimes it might be things that we’re tempted by.
Sometimes we don’t even know why we’re feeling worn out. We just know that we’re tired and it feels like we’re about to collapse.
Jesus said He came to give us rest. Will you trust Him? Will you take those burdens and place them at His feet?
We often teach people that our sins and our cares can be like an invisible backpack that we carry around. Every time we mess up, a new rock gets placed in that backpack. Every time we doubt God or feel condemned by the enemy, another rock gets tossed into that backpack. Anger, bitterness and unforgiveness can also put more rocks in there too.
Before we know it, we’re carrying around a lot of extra weight that we were not meant to carry. And it wears us out.
So, today, let’s take that backpack off and lay it at the feet of Jesus and leave it there. Permanently.
Come to Jesus, all you who are tired and burdened down. He will give you rest.
