Matthew 11:28–30
“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.”
TL;DR:
You don’t have to carry life’s burdens alone. Jesus invites you to take His yoke—to share your load with Him and find rest for your soul.
His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
When two oxen are yoked together, they share the weight of the load, making the work manageable. I often forget that—and try to tackle everything on my own. I don’t want to burden other people with my struggles, and sometimes I even hesitate to “bother” God with the things I think I should be able to handle.
But every time I take life on by myself, it drains me. I may look strong on the outside, but inside I’m often crumbling.
When I finally stop and remember that I’m not meant to carry life’s load alone, peace begins to return. Jesus invites me—and you—to take His yoke upon us. That means trusting that He’s walking beside us every step of the way, working everything out for His glory and our good.
I can’t control a staph infection, bone growth, or people and circumstances around me. But I can choose to take His yoke, to rest in His strength instead of relying on my own.
Whatever battle you’re facing today, remember—you don’t have to stand alone like a proud warrior. Stand strong, yoked to our omnipotent Savior. He will carry the weight with you. His yoke is easy. His burden is light. And in Him, you’ll find true rest for your soul. ❤️
