“THE PLACE OF REST!”
Matthew 11:29
“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.”
If I were to ask you to close your eyes and imagine the most restful scene, what would you see in your mind’s eye? A beautiful beach, a tranquil lake with a mountain view, or perhaps simply a rocking chair?
That is not the scene pictured for us in today’s Scripture. The one burdened with a load of care is the one called upon to take up the yoke of Christ. It seems that taking on more responsibility would be the least desirable thing to do.
Years ago I attended a conference and heard a pastor share that they never sought out volunteers who had no other responsibilities. The ones that could be relied upon were those who were the busiest. They chose to go with the goers!
If you want to find a rest for your soul, please do not escape spiritual retirement. Get in yoke with the Savior and find the place of rest that will fill your soul with peace and rest.
Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
