"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, NIV).
Sometimes the day-to-day pressures of life can
cause unnecessary stress. In fact, many people lose sleep, worrying about things
or people in their lives. But God doesn’t want us to live stressed out and
overwhelmed. He wants us to live a life of rest and peace.
When Jesus walked on this earth, He took time for Himself. He got away from the
crowds. He spent time with the Father. That’s how He found rest. He was gentle
and humble in heart. Do you ever notice that when you are stressed out or
worrying about something, you’re less tolerant of others? You’re more likely to
say something you don’t really mean. Today, God wants you to cast your cares on
Him and live with a gentle and humble attitude. When you release your burdens
and follow the example of Jesus, you will find rest for your soul. You will be
rejuvenated and refreshed! You will find peace in your heart, and you will move
forward in the abundant life God has for you!
Heavenly Father, today I choose to cast my cares on You. Teach me, Holy Spirit, to have a gentle and humble attitude. Help me find rest for my soul so that I can love others the way You love me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
