Tag: What the Bible says about finding rest in Jesus

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-17-24

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 are you going through today that has made you weary and heavy-laden?

Heavy laden means to be weighed down by a great burden or load, or to be oppressed or crushed.

It means to carry a very heavy load, possibly for some time. It causes people to feel worn down or drained. It can cause anxiety and hopelessness.

Rest is what weary people seek. Rest restores the vigor and strength necessary to carry on and enjoy life.

May you come to the Lord today and find your rest in Him. Do not sorrow any longer, for His joy is your strength!

Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV) 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-11-20

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.

Are you tired and weary? It’s safe to say that most of us go through periods where we feel like we can’t take one more thing.

Sometimes life can really throw some stuff at us that make us feel like we just need some peace, some rest.

Most of us will automatically think of getting rest as maybe we need some sleep.

But if we get sleep, and the storm is still raging all around us when we wake up, we will still have no rest for our souls.

Do you know when we will find rest for our souls? When we take the yoke of Jesus upon us and find our rest in Him.

You see, Jesus told us plainly that we need to do that. And then He said we need to learn from Him!

As we learn from Him, He will teach us what true rest is and what it feels like. And once we get that understanding in our spirits, we will never again settle for anything less. There will be no need to do so!

So, we urge you today to take the yoke of Jesus upon you. Learn from Him. Press into Him. Draw near to Him, and seek Him with all your heart.

Then, and only then will you find rest for your souls.

Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-11-19

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

My Yoke is easy.

Why then are we carrying such a heaviness in our hearts?

Are we in our heads, relying on our intellect and human understanding to figure everything out? This has got to be one of the most common things among us all; Figuring things out.

This is what starts the heaviness, being in our heads. Thinking. Constantly thinking.

This is something we all have to get balanced in. When we are faced with heavy stuff, we need to remind ourselves of what Jesus is saying, and understand that God does not always require us to figure things out.

He asks us to come to Him, let Him figure it out. We are to rest and follow His leading, taking the steps as He opens up the door. Amen.

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Get that stuff off our mind, out of our head. Let Jesus touch our hearts with His peace that we may walk in His understanding.

Come, take rest.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-27-17

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

No matter how discouraging things may look right now, no matter what our eyes see in front of us, no matter how we feel on the inside, we need to remember Who we belong to.

We need to hold on to His promise and we need to keep our faith in Him strong.

Don’t listen to the voices that whisper “what ifs” to our minds. Don’t listen to the emotions that say “I can’t do this”. Don’t let those things take you down and snuff you out. With God, all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Take a deep breath and look up. Say “Father, take this from me. I can not bear to carry it any longer. I hand it all over to You. I’m done trying to do it on my own. It’s simply just too much for me.

Let Your will be done oh Lord. In Jesus Name I ask. Amen”.
