Matthew 11:29 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Jesus was meek, gentle and humble.
And yet He was powerful in everything He said and did.
Why?Ā Because He acted by the Holy Spirit, not by His emotions. Everything He did was purposeful and with meaning.
Yet, even with the power that He exhibited, He didn’t cause stress for those who listened to and understood His words.
For those who chose to embrace Jesus and put their faith in Him, there was peace in their souls. They found rest, no matter what was happening around them.
Today, over 2,000 years later, Jesus offers us that same peace and rest.
If our faith and trust is in Him, it doesn’t matter what’s happening in our lives, or in the world around us. There can be chaos all around, but our spirits can have peace. We just need to train our minds to be still when they want to explode.
Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
No, this isn’t always easy to understand. But as we learn of Him and begin to understand Him better, peace and rest will become the norm in our lives. And emotional chaos will become a thing of the past.
Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him. And your life will never be the same š
