Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Matthew 11:28-30 “’ Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily 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 light.’”
The devotion is titled It’s No Problem for God by Darla Noble. When we try doing things on our own, we fall under the weight of things life brings or what we bring upon ourselves. When we allow ourselves to become one with Christ. He circles His loving arms around us and holds us securely in place. We must remember that our problems are no problem for God. Stop trying to do life on your own.
Reflections for you: When do you try to handle the stresses and difficulties of life on your own? What prevents you from giving them over to Jesus?
Here is my response: In my early life before I became a Christian, I tried to handle life on my own. I felled miserably. I was proud. I didn’t need anyone, not even Jesus.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, we are tired trying to live life on our won. We want You to guide us, direst our paths, and help bear our burdens. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
