Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
What part of these verses caught my attention today? “Learn from Me”.
It’s so important that we learn from Jesus. The whole Bible was written so we could learn, grow and live an abundant life in Him!
Everything we need to know is in there. And if we learn the right way of doing things, we won’t be heavy laden, for His yoke is easy.
The hard part is “unlearning” those things we’ve been taught that are incorrect and have been habitual for most of our lives.
It’s not easy starving old habits and changing up our routines. Our flesh loves both and most times will fight tooth and nail for them to remain.
If we want rest, though, we must stick to and follow His plan.
First, go to Him.
He says, come to Me. Not to your family, not your best friend, not your neighbor, or even those closest to us. But to Him.
Second, follow Him and learn from Him. His word will teach us everything we need to know.
Third, enter His rest. As we obey Him, the heavy burden will be lifted.
The Lord is good! Amen.
