Rested and Renewed Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. —Matthew 11:29–30 NKJV Although Jesus puts His early disciples to work, He knows He has to touch their hearts before He asks for their hands. So He promises to give them rest.The word “rest” refers to an inward holiday – not a cessation of activity, but a whole new energy and motive. Many of us are more active on vacation than at work; what changes is our reason for activity. We feel energized on vacation because we want to do certain things. Jesus describes a new relationship that changes us on the inside.Note what He promises to give us: 1. Rest: an inward rest, free from anxieties. 2. Framework: a yoke, by which we are guided by a stronger partner. 3. Gentle and humble leadership: an understanding leader who meets our needs. 4. A manageable load: a system and workload that fits who we are. Excerpted from a note in The Maxwell Leadership Bible
