Has there been a moment when you thought you could do it all on your own? Did you ever consider trying to do life on your own, after you found Jesus? Odd or even a tough question that I’m sure some or most have never thought of.
I’ll say for me, I remember my life before I turned it all over yo Him, and I know now I couldn’t do it on my own anymore. I also know now that I wouldn’t want to do life without Him, and I’m sure you all feel the same.
“Come to Me, all you 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 NKJV
Here’s one word that jumps out at me; laden. And the definition is; – Having or carrying a large amount of something, physically or emotionally. Another word that stands out is; lowly. And that definition is; low in status or importance; humble. Or as we read it in –
“Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.”
Psalms 138:6 NKJV
I chose to cover to cover these two words because they spoke to me. Laden, if you are carrying around physical or emotional pain, who better to do that with than the one who is lowly and humbles Himself to be easy to talk with.?
Jesus, the very name has so many definitions (too many to list), but none of them more or less important that the other. My point is, through Him I can do “all the things”, without Him I cannot. Well, I guess technically we could be the results wouldn’t be life giving.
“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11:30 NKJV
Summary; Through and with Him, life is easy, His yoke is easy and His burden is light. It’s us who without Him that makes it hard. Choose wisely, choose His wisdom.
