Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." His yoke is easy, His burden is light!! Do you ever feel like you are walking up hill in both directions? Do you feel like the wind and the hills are ever present? Maybe you aren’t walking in Gods will. I heard a sermon from Adrian Rogers the other day, he said,”Stop trying and start trusting!” When I am fighting hard for something and not getting anywhere, I need to evaluate whether or not what I am fighting for is truly God’s will. Sometimes the fight is worth it and He gives us strength and courage for the battle. Sometimes we do face righteous fights. It was a battle for me to give up alcohol. Yet, sometimes we are fighting for the wind. When I put Jesus, as the focus of my heart, my battle with alcohol became easy. I longed for Jesus more than the numbing of the booze. I couldn’t have both. Today, I’m looking at my battles, the ones I am getting wearied by are the ones I’m fighting for myself and my selfish desires; The ones I am fighting to be closer to God for are energized! I Hope this helps you put God first, so you can have strength for your battles and enjoy your life!!
