Text for the Day -- Matthew 11:25-30 ---------- At that time Jesus said, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’
Devotional ---------- If there was ever a good word for our time, this is it. Stress, fear, anxiety and anger seem to dominate so much of our lives. Jesus invites us to find rest in the midst of our burdens, busyness and anxiousness. Creating time to be prayerful dialog with Jesus brings a rest born of trust. Are you holding your breath? Stop. Breathe! Pray in quiet trust. Offer up your anxieties, fears and anger. You will find rest.
Prayer ------------ Lord Jesus, lead me to your heart and peace. Amen
