Christ said: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matt 11:29-30
So why is life so hard? Sometimes it seems like our burden is heavier than we can bear and like we are holding up the weight of the world. I think everyone has felt a little like this at one time or another.
I've been thinking a lot about this passage and and I've come to realize how absolutely true and amazing it really is! Christ yoke IS easy and His Burden IS light..... but only if we carry it alone. He simply asks us to trust and wait. And yes those things can seem very hard but they are only hard if you are trying to bear it yourself and if you don't believe that you can fully trust Christ to provide and you aren't willing to wait for Him to do so.
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt 2 Chr 16:9
There are so many scriptures in the Bible about men that waited.... God blessed king Asa with peace and prosperity until he asked the Syria to come help him. God simply asks us to trust in Him and not in man. Asa took the burden of protection upon himself instead of giving to to God.
There are so many story's of men in the Bible that waited for God and were rewarded and also of men that didn't wait and had to bear a heavier burden for it... .but I'm out of time here so I better run.
My goal is to drop all other burdens and to care only for the burden that the Bible has given us because if we can take up Christs yoke with a perfect heart and trust in Him he will provide all our needs.
Thanks for reading! :)
