Day 4: Matthew 10 – 12
Come to me!
Powerful words “Come to me”…The qualifying factor is this: [those who are heavy laden (filled with problems) and those who are laboring.]
Interesting that He does not say this to those who are taking life easy or just finding a way to get through the next crisis. It’s a call to COME to those who are in the midst of the struggle.
Three things are offered-- rest, learning and lighter burden.
Notice that the promise is not to take the burden away; it is a promise to enter a time where Jesus can minister to your needs, where you can learn a better way and where you can resume the journey with a renewed purpose, which makes your load lighter.
What are you struggling with? What burden seems overwhelming? Jesus says to each of us, “Come, step aside for a while and find rest for your souls."
I need this from time to time just to keep things in focus.
Remember that one of our commitments is to take a time away once a month for renewal. What are you doing to come to Jesus?
