“Come
To Me, All Of You
Who
Are Weary And Carry Heavy Burdens,
And
I Will Give You Rest.”
Scripture
Matthew
11
28 Then
Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry
heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take
my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at
heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Observation
Weary
… does that describe how you feel these days? It describes the way
I feel this morning. I am ready for all of this to go away! We
desperately need the light that can be seen at the end of the tunnel!
Jesus
is saying to me and you morning, “Come to me, I know that you are
weary and I know that you are carrying heavy burdens, come to me and
I will give you rest.”
You
and I were never designed to live in this crazy, dangerous, chaotic
world on our own. We were created by God to be dependent on Him.
A
few minutes ago Kathy and I were awakened by a tornado alert on both
of our cell phones saying take cover in the safest room of your
house! Now that is a great way to start one's day – immediately I
prayed, “Lord, keep us safe!” I am so glad that I have a Heavenly
Father who I can call on in times of trouble.
In
these troublesome times it is great to know that Jesus has conquered
this evil and chaotic world!
Application
I
will quickly call on the Lord when I am in trouble, when I am tired
and weary, and when my burdens become too heavy.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, trouble seems to be everywhere right now. I am weary and I am
tired of all of this coronavirus stuff. Even our weather is totally
crazy. Lord, I will be so glad when You take it all away. I pray and
I ask You keep my family safe during all these storms. I pray for our
government leaders. Give them wisdom to do the right thing concerning
opening back up our country!
