Exodus 13:1-14:4; Psalms 47:1-48:14; Acts 7:1-29
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. Matthew 11:28-29 NKJV
This offer of rest is so compelling, especially when our problem isn’t a physical weariness that can be solved by a good night’s sleep. Sometimes our hearts and minds feel so heavy we wonder how we’ll get through the day. Yet Jesus isn’t impatient with our situation. He is gentle and lowly, not only willing to shoulder the weight of our burden but eager to teach us His lovely character. As we join ourselves to Him and work His way, we discover that serving Him is easy and His load is light! —Caroline Webb
My soul finds rest in God alone, my Rock and my salvation;
A fortress strong against my foes, and I will not be shaken. —S. Townend
