Take His yoke

 Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who 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 and His burden is light.  When two Oxen are yoked to a load they share the load and their job is managed.  I often try to tackle my life on my own         I don’t want to burden other people to pray for me.   I don’t want to burden God with things I think I should be able to handle.    When I take life’s issues on, by myself it takes a lot out of me.   I stand strong like a warrior and but inside I am crumbling.   When I remember,  I am not to take these burdens on alone; I am to TRUST Jesus is with me every step of the way working all things out for His glory and my good.   I can’t change people, places or things.   I can’t  control a staph infection or bone growth.    I can take His yoke upon me and rest in whatever my day brings.    I hope this helps you too remember what ever battle you are fighting right now; you do not need to stand alone, like a proud warrior.   You can choose to stand strong, yoked to Our Omnipotent  Savior!!  He makes our burdens light. He gives us rest for our souls in what ever battle we are in!!  Take His yoke upon you today!!
