Matthew 11: 29 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.
Jesus has been talking about the response of his fellow Jews to his ministry. They don't see him clearly, and they won't be safe on Judgment Day. But the true believers will. Jesus will give us rest. His yoke is easy and his burden is light.
I'm still recovering from the election, and I am in a period of discontent. I'm feeling helpless, and Jesus sure is a place of refuge. I'm going after the humble and gentle Jesus, who offers me rest from my discomfort.
Prayer: Lord, how do people without faith cope? How are those who care about our country and all Your people in it coping without You? I need rest for my soul, and then I need guidance from You on how to make my daily walk reflect the loving kindness You expect from me.
Amen
