and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
What a fine thing
it is to rest in the Lord. He tells us the truth when He says his yoke is easy
and his burden light, but they are only so when we allow him to carry us. When
we try to carry the yoke by ourselves and go our own way we find everything in
this life heavier, more burdensome, and we stumble and fall into imperfection
and sin. However, as long as we allow ourselves to be tied by bonds of love to
our God he will bear us along the Heavenly
Way
Do we remember to
bind ourselves to Christ each day through prayers and works? When we fall into
sin do we struggle to lift ourselves off the ground or do we seek the helping hand
of God? How often do we take a moment to simply rest in our God?
O Lord, help us to
have hearts meek and humble enough to yoke ourselves to you and rest in your
arms for ever and ever.
Amen.
