I love these verses in Matt 11:28-30, which remind us that God’s yoke is easy. When we are tight with Him and His will, symbolically yoked to Him, our way gets easier. When we trust Him and simply obey, we experience the very best that life has to offer. When we wander off from His presence is when our way gets hard. Giving Him our burdens makes us lighter. In the Psalms it says that the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter, even unto the full light of day. As His disciples, we are headed toward His light. When we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with God. What a beautiful picture that paints. We are not alone; we are in the very presence of God, having fellowship with Him. In His presence we can receive the wisdom, the insight, and the power we need to walk out our earth life in the peace of God. He is our Oasis. He is our Peace. He is our Confidence. He is our Life. He is our Rest, and our soft place to fall. What a privilege to stand before the presence of our King. He deserves our praises, our adoration, and our obedience.
Trust and Obey (When We Walk With the Lord) by Daniel Brink Towner, John Henry Sammis
Verse 1
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His good will
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Chorus
Trust and obey
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Verse 2
Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the skies
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt nor a fear
Not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey
Verse 3
Not a burden we bear
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay
Not a grief nor a loss
Not a frown nor a cross
But is blessed if we trust and obey
Verse 4
But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay
For the favor He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for those who will trust and obey
Verse 5
Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way
What He says we will do
Where He sends we will go
Never fear only trust and obey
