Weary and Burdened

Verse of the Month

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will

give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,

for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

(Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV)

March 8^th – 14^th

Scripture Reading: Matthew 11:28-30

Weary and Burdened

Living a balanced life takes work.  We struggle emotionally, physically, mentally, financially and wonder why we're so exhausted!  The problem doesn't lie in those things, but rests on spiritual unrest.

When our soul fails to find rest in the Lord it affects us in every area of our life causing us to become weary.  We have forgotten to trust in God by carrying the weight of burden ourselves.  Jesus reminds us that His burden is light and the load we carry isn't a burden to Him.

Next time you sense that life is unbalanced remind yourself that your soul is in need of a rest, and take refuge in God's Word immediately. (cw)

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”

Psalm 37:7a
