While people run here and there trying to find rest and peace, Jesus simply and calmly says, “Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.” It’s a quiet, peaceful place.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
As we learn more of Jesus and surrender to Him, we can be confident that He has a yoke designed specifically for us, and it’s a perfect fit---right in the center of His will.
That’s why He can also say that His burden is light. When we are surrendered to Him and are pulling the burden He has designed for us, there will be satisfaction even in the midst of trials.
Believer, does the Lord's yoke seem easy for you? Does His burden seem light? If the answer is yes, then I would venture to say that you are enjoying the meekness and lowly heart of Jesus.
If the answer is no, you may need to surrender to your yoke and let the Lord have His way in your life.
