ARE YOU HEAVY LADEN?

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Additional Verses

📖 Exodus 14:1-31; 1 Samuel 1:1-28; Matthew 11:25-30; Acts 7:54-60

If you are going through a rough time, have you gone down on your knees to ask Jesus Christ to sail you through? Or have you sought solutions from other avenues first? As a child of God, it is important to know what to do in times of trouble, or where to run to in times of crisis. In Jesus Christ, you will find everything that you may ever need. He is only a call away and His line is never busy or unreachable. He is the only one who knows you more than you know yourself and knows how best to help you. However, Jesus Christ does not impose Himself on you because He gave you a free-will to choose to obey Him or not. Giving you a free-will means that He loves you so much, and you should therefore make the right decision to surrender yourself wholly to Him without leaving anything out. And when you are faced with trouble, He will be there in your troubles to carry you and your burdens. He will give you peace and you will not have anything to worry about. At times people stay suffering with their troubles because God is not there with them. Hannah was a woman of sorrows because the Lord had closed her womb. She was barren and knew where to run to. Every year they would go to the House of God at Shiloh to worship and she would pour out her heart to God. 1 Samuel 1:17 the man of God Eli noticed that she was greatly troubled as she prayed and said to her, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of Him.” When they returned to their home, surely the Lord God granted her request. She became the mother of Samuel who became the great Prophet of God. Today where are you running to? Many, today do not know where to run to or they do not have faith in God at all. So for as long as God is not in your situation, the devil will take advantage and will inflict more pain. I urge you to only find refuge in God. Psalm 91 verse 2 says, “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him will l trust.” Make this your prayer as well. Let Him be your number one priority, because He does not want to see you suffer. He is more than ready to turn your mourning into dancing, your darkness into light and your sorrow into joy. Alleluia!

Prayer

I am sorry Father for all the times I have placed You second best in my situations. Help me to always remember to make You my number one priority as I will be assured of total victory and success. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray, Amen.
