Scripture
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all you who are weary and 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 is light.”
Observation
Rest- G399 ἀναπαύω anapauō, to rest, be refreshed
Application
Have you ever listened to fresh falling snow? It is as if all the other noises in the world just stop. All you hear is this light crunching sound as the snow shifts and hits the ground. If you close your eyes and take a deep breath I bet you can hear it right now. This is what it is like when we look to Jesus instead of the world around us. He is there to walk with us and help ease our path. We won’t escape our troubles, but it can look like that fresh falling snow. The world can go on around us, but all we here is the silence and gentle crush of beautiful flakes resting all around us.
Prayer
Lord, thank you for bringing peace into my life when the world tries to fill it with chaos. ~Amen
