Come to me,
all you who are weary
and burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Thoughts
~
Wouldn’t it be nice to never grow weary? There are times that we find we
cannot lift our feet another step, open our mouths to simply talk and find our
eyelids growing heavier by the minute.
Often, days that are very busy, where we had much to accomplish, have
simply worn us out physically.
Other times weariness invades our souls from adding too much clutter that
is not necessary. When weariness threatens to bring discouragement, it’s time
to step back and ask if our schedules are keeping us from spending time with
the Lord. Sometimes it’s time for a clean sweep, a time to de-clutter our
lives, sort of a spring cleaning of the soul.
In this verse, Jesus is inviting us to come to Him, to be refreshed, to
allow Him to carry our burdens. He invites us, ordinary you and me, to be in
His amazing and loving presence! When I get weary, I long to sit at His feet
and be refreshed, allowing Him to give me needed comfort and relief of my burdens.
Sometimes it’s through prayer, other times through reading a Psalm or a
devotional that brings my focus back to Him. Those days when He lifts my weariness
are so appreciated and cherished.
Action ~
When you feel burdened by weariness, take a minute to ask yourself what
has caused it. And then run; don’t walk, to the Lord Jesus who has promised to
give us rest. Ask Him to help you find time in your day to spend time with Him.
A quiet time, prayer time, a praise time will refresh your soul and your weariness
will be lifted. When we take our eyes of ourselves and place them on the Lord,
perspectives change
When we add too much world to our lives, our weariness seems to grow out
of control. Slow down. Get the rest from
the ONE who loves You and has called you by name.
Pray ~
Only You, Lord, can truly give me the rest I need. Thank you for carrying my burdens and
inviting me to be your child.
Trusting in Him,
Becky
