Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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."
As a new mom, I was always sleep deprived and needed lots of rest. But there was always something to do and instead of resting, I would try to get as many things done as possible. Sometimes, I would burn myself out from trying to do too much. Then, I would crash. Now, all parents know that having a newborn is not a restful time (unless your baby is a wonderful sleeper)! That’s why I’m so glad that God has promised us His rest here on earth, not just in Heaven. It is a special kind of rest that comes from believing in God’s promises and knowing that He is taking care of me. I do not have to work for this rest. In fact, I cannot do a single thing in my flesh to achieve it. I can only enter His promised rest by faith. So when I feel particularly exhausted, I need to remind myself of this spiritual truth. His rest is waiting for me. All I need to do is enter it by faith, not by my works. Will you know His rest this week? I hope both of us do.
