Rest For The Weary Oct 21 2007
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:29
The idea that the pace of life seems to continually increase stress and worry is a universal concept. There seems to be no end to the demands on our time and energy. Are you tired of the rat race?
There is a solution: It isn't one that offers escape from the demands of life, but one that guarantees rest in the midst of the rat race and the fast pace of life. Jesus says, "Come to me if you are tired and burdened. I'll make your load lighter, and help you carry your burden." Jesus offers us rest amidst the stress.
Christ doesn't always take us out of life's demanding situations. Instead, He invites us to allow Him to help us handle the demands. He wants to face each day and each challenge with us. Walking with Jesus Christ daily and trusting Him for guidance and wisdom to handle whatever comes, is the way to experience rest in the rat race.

Yes, report it NevermindI interpret this as meaning: Let go. Surrender to Jesus. Accept each moment as is without judgment and trust in Jesus.

Yes, report it NevermindTHIS IS ONE OF MY WEAKEST AREAS IN SOMEWAYS. I HAVE TO PRAY TO KEEP A CHILD LIKE FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD. BECAUSE IF I DON'T I WILL BECOME TO OVER BURDENED AND STRESSED AND SATAN HAS FIELD DAY WITH ME THEN. SEEKING GOD FOR HIS WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE FOR OUR LIVES AND TO MAKE DECISIONS IN OUR LIVES SHOULD ALWAYS BE A CHRISTIANS FIRST AND FOREMOST CONCERN.
