TODAY’S VERSE
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
How many times have we qualified for this passage of scripture? Difficulties, like relationships, finances, worries about the future, and guilt over the past, can get us all down. There are so many contributors to the stress we find ourselves under. Jesus knew what it was to be under duress. He felt the fatigue from endless ministry. He grew exasperated over the religious controversy surrounding His ministry. And yet, with all the pressures and temptations He was under, the Bible made it clear that He did not sin. Who better to come to for rest when we are weary? Today, Jesus offers you relief. He knows you are weary and often carry heavy burdens. He says, “Come, and I will give you rest.”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, You know how often I am weary and heavy burdened. You promised if I came to You that You would give me rest. I come, Lord Jesus, I come to You with all my burdens. Please provide me with peace and rest to my soul today.
AMEN
