ABIDING IN EASTER - LENT DEVOTIONAL by BRYAN CRAIG

DAY 7

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from 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.”

Matthew 11:28-30 ESV

Yes, Jesus came to die for our sins, but He also came to show how much He wants to minister to us now, not just in heaven. Just like He took the punishment for our sins, He offers to carry our burdens as well. All of this pain and trials and struggles give Jesus an opportunity to shine. When we quit striving to solve all our own problems or escape them, and we come to Him, we find rest for our weary souls. Our circumstances may not change immediately, but He brings peace amidst the storm. It’s true.

APPLICATION:

Have you tried everything else to solve your problems, except humbly asking Jesus for His help? Perhaps your solution is only one prayer away.
