SOUL REST
Matthew 11:28-30
“ ‘Come unto Me, all you who are weary and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.’ ”
Pleasing other people can be a heavy burden. Meeting their expectations is an impossible task that can drain my physical, emotional, and spiritual energy. But Jesus’ burden is light. He is easy to please because He knows who I am and what I am capable of handling. I can try to do life on my own, or I can humble myself to admit that I need help, “casting all your [my] cares upon Him for He cares for you [me]” (I Peter 5:7). There is soul-rest when I trust God with the issues of life, and He gets into the yoke and shares my burdens. What a comforting thing!
TODAY’S PRINCIPLE: There is soul-rest for the person who trusts God to share his burdens.

Have a “soul-rest” day. Love you.
