For My Yoke is Easy.....

-
Matthew 11: 30 For My yoke is easy, and My load is light. (NASB)

How can we trust Christ to handle burdens that are heavy to us?  He is God and He cares for us.  He never struggles with what we bring to Him.  He ALWAYS has time to listen to our needs and respond to our heart’s desires.  Sometimes His answer doesn’t match our request as we see it but we must remember, God has a better plan for us than we could ever have or develop for ourselves.  We often don’t fully or even slightly understand His answer but we can trust the fact that He is God, and we can fully trust Him in all things.  His yoke is easy.  How can this be?  He simply knows HOW to carry our load.  All through our life we are learning HOW to carry our own burdens, and there’s Christ with the answer.  We need to trust Him.  His load is light.  This is because He is God, and we will never be able to over-burden His heart with our load.

We have seen in this three part study that God is able.  We have seen how He is able, and we have found Him totally trustworthy.  He calls us to trust Him to bear our burdens, but we too have a responsibility to learn from the gentle One.  If we give God our burdens and learn nothing from the experience, we will go through other trials and tribulations until we see God in the light He wants us to see Him in.  Let’s face the truth in all of this.  How God wants us to see Him is best for us.  So we need to look at all that He draws us through, that we may know Him in a deeper more passionate relationship.  His desire for our hearts is to stay near Him in all things.

Start today, and spend time alone with God in prayer and pour your heart out to Him.  You will find relief in knowing He is still in control, and loves you more than you are capable of imagining.

Prayer:  Dear God, Teach me Your ways and show me Your paths that I may understand more clearly your love and purpose for me.  In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!

May God richly bless us as we continue seek His will, and His way, through His Word.

Have a GREAT Day!!!

In Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
