DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 20; Jeremiah 32:1-25; Hebrews 3
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. Matt hew 11:30
A yoke, to be eff ective, must be worn correctly, positioned properly,
and secured. The Lord knows exactly how much we are able to bear
and places His yoke upon us perfectly. What binds it to us though
is our love for Him. So if His yoke feels uncomfortable and cumbersome,
we need to check that our love for Him is strong. The yoke is
simply doing what it was designed to do. It is helping us bear spiritual
responsibilities and making us useful for His glory. Let Jesus
fasten His yoke on your heart today. Then wear it in measure to the
grace He so freely gives anew each morning. —Jerry Proctor
His yoke is easy; His burden is light. I’ve found it so; I’ve found it so.
He leadeth me by day and by night, where living waters fl ow. —R. Hudson
