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 get easier. 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.
Prayer for the week: Father, In Jesus’ Name, thank you for the baby Jesus who came to bring peace to the earth. In the midst of busyness, I place my heart in your hands and give you room to reign with peace in my life. Thank you for the rest we find in you. I pray for a renewed and increasing desire to share this good news with those who haven’t yet experienced it. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
