The Challenge
“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.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
“Have you ever made the statement that ‘I’m going through a challenge’? Yes, you have. Your words ‘going through’ mean that you will end up completing the challenge. You will end up on the other side of the challenge. Correct?
How you go through the challenge really depends upon your frame of mind, your will-power, your fortitude and strength. So many people know part of this verse that the yoke is easy and the burden is light, but they don’t read the words ‘for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls.’ Since I am gentle and humble, then partake of My gentleness and humility. Understand it; accept it. If you do, then you’ll accept that you will walk through this challenge and end up on the other side, because it is My plan that you do.
After all, what is a burden, but a hindrance, a handicap and something to impede your progress and even your faith. So where is your attitude in your burden today? Will you allow Me to be your place of relief, comfort and shelter today and each day of your challenge? If so, you will understand what I meant by My yoke being easy and My burden being light.”
