Thinking today of a classic verse, Matthew 11,
28. It says, Come to me, all you who are weary
and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Often
quoted, this verse is part of the great promises
of his presence. He can lift our burdens and
he can provide rest. I think a big part of this
is in the trusting. When we know things are this
way, because he allows them to be this way. And
of course, we believe in his ability to intervene.
Then we can stop fretting, which frankly is exhausting.
I've seen people turn the need for a 99 cent
part into a life or death matter by letting it
go on for months because they were too freaked
out or scared as to how much it would actually
cost. There's a lot more to it. But that's the
burden bearing that first comes to mind, perhaps
because I have both experienced it and regularly.
needed it. Thank you, Jesus, for intervening
for us and carrying our burdens. I pray, Lord,
that those of us, those within the sound of my
voice, will come to you and say, Lord, help me.
