Rest in His Strength
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
Reflection
When training a new animal to plow, farmers would often yoke it to an older, stronger, more experienced animal. The stronger one would bear the majority of the burden, guiding and teaching the younger animal through the process. Similarly, Jesus invites us to come to Him, take His yoke upon us, and find rest in surrendering to His leading.
Application
Trust in the Lord’s ability to carry you and your burdens. His yoke is one of love, not heaviness. Lean into His strength and discover spiritual, emotional, and physical rest. Abide in Him with a childlike faith, from glory to glory!ss.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your invitation to rest in You. Help me abide in Your love and strength, resting in Your care. I surrender my burdens and trust in Your guidance daily, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
