I have been on a dead run this week. I have had lots of obligations and little time for myself or my God. I have gotten up early and gone to bed late to try to get everything accomplished and still I find that I do not have everything marked off my list. Have you ever been there? This evening, I was reminded that God wants me to lean on Him so that He can provide rest to me, and to you too! It was beginning to get dark when I finally settled down and opened my Bible. It fell open to Matthew 11:18-30. "Come to me, all 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." Almost immediately I felt myself relax and felt the peace of Jesus take away all my anxiety and rush. No, my list is still not all completed. Yes, I still have people counting on me to do things tomorrow. But, through scritpture and the mighty message of God, I have come to realize that I need to give my burden to God to help me work through. Thank you Father for showing me a better way to get through my day!
