Matthew 11:28-30 NASB “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Have you ever gone to the grocery store for just a few things, so you decided not to get a shopping cart? Well, I did this once, and then remembered I needed a sack of potatoes…by the time I got to the checkout counter, my arms were tired! I had every opportunity to put down my heavy burden in the shopping carts provided, but I stubbornly carried a sack of potatoes all around that store instead.

Jesus gives us every opportunity to put down our burdens: our sin, our regrets, our pride and our worries. He will show us a better way; if we take His yoke to direct us, and His burden instead of ours, we will feel rested instead of weary.
