LIFE WITH GOD IS EASY AND LIGHT MATTHEW 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. It always warms my heart to know that Jesus sees the cares we carry in our hearts. He knows the worries you have for your family and for the future. He feels the heaviness in your heart as you struggle with the sickness in your body. He says to you, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Jesus wants to give you rest. And He says that the way you receive rest is to be yoked with Him, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. (Matthew 11:29–30) What does it mean to be yoked with Jesus? Imagine a pair of oxen yoked together. The younger ox sees what the lead ox does and follows. If the lead ox turns left, the younger ox turns left. If the lead ox stops, the younger ox stops. When the lead ox starts moving again, the younger ox follows. Likewise, Jesus wants us to follow His leading and flow with Him. It is not hard to flow with Jesus because He will not lay anything heavy on you—“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:30) When you are yoked with Him and you flow with Him, you will find that there is nothing heavy-hearted, ill-fitting or burdensome from the Lord. When you flow with the Lord, you will find that things fall into place. You will not be weighed down, anxious or distressed. You might say, pastor prince, God has given me this heavy burden. It is weighing heavily on my heart!” My friend, if the burden is heavy, it is not from God because Jesus said that His burden is light. The devil has probably given you the burden to crush you! “Oh, pastor prince, you are making light of how serious my burden is.” No, I am not. Jesus did say that His burden is light and His yoke easy. So a life yoked with Him is anxiety- and worry-free. Beloved, follow His leading and flow with Him, and you will find rest for your soul! Prayer of the Day But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (1 Peter 5: 10 KJV) LET US PRAY: Lord, I rejoice because all these troubles, trials, and tribulations that I face are just for a moment, and Your joy awaits me soon. Lord, I know that no eyes have seen, no ears have heard, and no mouth has spoken of what awaits Your faithful children. Lord, I call on You today that You may show me great and mighty things that I am yet to see. Lord, God of all flesh, God of all grace, thank You for calling me to Your eternal glory in Christ Jesus. Thank You for restoring, supporting, strengthening, and establishing me, because I know that those who believe that they have received, will receive. In Jesus Name. Amen
