Yoke

4/14/2020

Matthew 11:29 “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me.”

The turmoil we are in is very serious, and it is global. It is difficult to stay positive and strong during this uncertain time, and the isolation doesn’t help. So where do we turn? Do we turn to the news that is covering Covid-19 and nothing else? Do we turn to our leaders who are shifting blame and spinning facts? Do we turn to our family and friends who we miss and feel ripped away from? We are all just grasping at straws anyway, and have no real solutions. It is all so exhausting.  

What I do, and what you can do, is turn to God in His infinite wisdom and guiding strength. Chambers writes, “‘To them that have no might He increases strength.’ …The only way to know the strength of God is to take the yoke of Jesus upon us and learn from Him.” Turn to Jesus in your times of sadness, fear, and weakness. During this time, learn from His Word, pray earnestly, and grow in Him. He is ALWAYS there for you, and He loves you.

Chambers writes, “No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit, it is an inner unconquerableness.” Jesus has already conquered the world, and no matter what, we can rest in that truth.
