There are many heavy shoulders right now. Schedules that are extremely full, and even though they may be full of good things, it can still be a lot to manage and/or navigate through! Trying to find the balance can be work in itself, but there is a Way through it all, and yep, you know where I’m going…it’s through Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the power and strength we need to keep going. It is God’s wisdom we need to learn what to continue with and how to best continue. Seek. Listen. Obey.
As I was praying for a couple specific people who I know are carrying super heavy loads right now, I was reminded of Matthew 11:28-30. These verses will speak to you too, as I know MANY people are experiencing the weight and heaviness right now. Have hope! Be assured! You’re not alone! God will help you through! The great exchange of the heavy for the light! Come to Jesus!
Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT) Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
And THEN, in my personal reading this morning of Isaiah 10, I came across this verse that goes right along with the Matthew verses!:
Isaiah 10:27 In that day the LORD will end the bo***ge of his people. He will break the yoke of slavery and lift it from their shoulders.
THANK YOU, LORD!!!
