Matthew 11:28-29 (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.
Are you heavy laden? Are you burdened with the cares of the world and the things that come against you, relentlessly pounding against you like waves in a storm?
Sometimes we can feel so helpless and powerless to do anything about the battles that we face each day.
But God isn’t powerless. He sent His Son to give us rest. Jesus came so that we could lay our burdens down and find rest in Him.
The battles that we fight here on earth can suck the life from us. They can leave us feeling like we’re finished and can’t move ahead one more inch.
But it’s not over. We’re not finished and we’re not defeated.
Reach out and take hold of Jesus and rest in Him. Draw your strength from Him. Don’t worry right now about what you’re to do next. Just rest and let Him breathe new life into you.
We can never win battles when we are weary. It’s only after we find rest and get our strength again that we can see clearly and move forward.
But for today, rest.
