Better With God

3/16/2021

Matthew 11:28-30 " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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."

What do we do when things are going great and then...BAM... you hit a roadblock? Well, a gifted young man that I love bunches had this recently happen to him, and the last few days have been particularly rough. So what did he do today? He went to church. Yes, this big, strong, passionate, tenderhearted young man went to spend time with God. Oh my heart. Even though he had sought council from his parents, who are both wise and loving and would do anything for their children, he still needed to have some quiet time with God and seek answers from Him. This afternoon, when I checked in to see how he was doing, his mother shared with me that after he went to church, he felt a better. I was so encouraged and blessed. This very intelligent, capable, hardworking man of character, when faced with disappointment and a difficult decision, turned to his Heavenly Father for guidance and comfort. I had to smile at the beautiful picture in my mind's eye, as I too always feel better after quiet time with God. 

Sure it would be nice if God gave us a clearly marked road map for our life's journey, with all the turns we need to take and places we need to stop for a spell. Alas, this is not the way of life. We do, however, have God's Holy Word as a guide and prayer as a connection to Him. For in is only in our Savior we will find true peace and rest for our weary souls.
