Bible Verse of The Day – 5-11-20

Matthew 11:29 (NKJV) 29 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.

Are you tired and weary? It’s safe to say that most of us go through periods where we feel like we can’t take one more thing.

Sometimes life can really throw some stuff at us that make us feel like we just need some peace, some rest.

Most of us will automatically think of getting rest as maybe we need some sleep.

But if we get sleep, and the storm is still raging all around us when we wake up, we will still have no rest for our souls.

Do you know when we will find rest for our souls? When we take the yoke of Jesus upon us and find our rest in Him.

You see, Jesus told us plainly that we need to do that. And then He said we need to learn from Him!

As we learn from Him, He will teach us what true rest is and what it feels like. And once we get that understanding in our spirits, we will never again settle for anything less. There will be no need to do so!

So, we urge you today to take the yoke of Jesus upon you. Learn from Him. Press into Him. Draw near to Him, and seek Him with all your heart.

Then, and only then will you find rest for your souls.

Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-30-16

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jesus came to give us life. As part of that, He wants us to bring our burdens and our heaviness to Him and give them to Him.

Most of us tend to carry way too many things on our shoulders for way too long. We have a tendency to think we need to fix everything ourselves.

Yes, there are things we need to do, but many things are beyond our control. And those are the things we need to lay at the cross and give to God.

There are many things that can weigh us down. Emotional wounds are one of them. Maybe someone has hurt us at some point in our past and we’re carrying those wounds with us. Those types of things can weigh us down for years, if we let them.

As a child of God, we need to learn to let God show us how to handle them. We need to give them to Him and let Him show us how to forgive and then let Him help us heal.

This isn’t always an easy process, but if we take the first step to get it started, we will be much better off. God has a way of healing things that we could never figure out ourselves. And He doesn’t just put bandages on our wounds. He fixes them the right way!

And when everything is said and done, that burden is lifted from us and we can move on with our life, minus the burden that we’ve been carrying.

So go to Him today. Give it to Him. Lay it down and let Him teach you how to let it go. And ask Him to help you forgive those who have hurt you. And then take one day at a time as you let Him help you with this.

Go ahead. Let Him give you rest.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-16

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jesus calls us to Himself. Why? To give us rest. What does He mean by that?

He wants to give us rest from the things that wear on us. He wants to give us rest from the things that try to destroy us.

Most of all, He wants to give us rest from the sin that tries to wreak havoc with our lives.

Sin will destroy us if we let it. Sin will cause us stress. Sin will make us sick. Sin will kill us at a young age, if we let it.

Jesus came for the sinner, not for the righteous. Way too many times we think that we need to clean ourselves up before we can come to Jesus. This is a lie! And this lie will send people to eternal condemnation if it isn’t rebuked and corrected.

Mark 2:17 (NKJV) 17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Jesus is the cleanup specialist! He takes us; broken, dirty, shameful. And He makes us brand new!

He forgives the sin. He wipes away the guilt and shame. He cleans us up. And He teaches the truth and value of repentance and humility.

If you’ve been waiting to come to Jesus until after you get your act together, stop waiting!

If you’ve been waiting to come to Jesus until after you get yourself cleaned up, stop waiting!

Jesus is the Master Physician. He is the Master Cleaner. And He is the Master Builder.

Let Him take away the guilt and shame, clean you up and make you brand new.

Today’s the day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-15

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you tired today?

Have you been wrestling with anything lately that has worn you out? Are you facing trials and temptations?

Jesus wants you to rest in Him, no matter what you’re facing.

When we’re in a battle, we can get worn out pretty quickly if we try to handle everything ourselves.

Our minds can sometimes be our worst enemy. Our intellect always tries to kick in and figure everything out. And when we do this, we can spin our wheels pretty good!

But those spinning wheels won’t get us anywhere, except buried in worrying and fretting over something we have no control over. And so many times, we spend hours, days and weeks worrying about something that never comes to pass.

Surrendering it to Jesus isn’t easy. But it’s a necessity if we want to keep from getting burned out and losing our faith.

But we need to tell our minds to shut up. And then we need to do whatever is necessary to hear God’s voice and heed His words, so He can lead us.

The best thing to do is to get in His word and let Him speak faith to our spirits. This will refresh us and renew our strength, and give us hope.

So, if you’re tired, let Jesus give you rest today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-22-15

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you tired? Are the worries and cares of life dragging you down?

How about sin? Are you caught up in sin that’s causing you to feel guilty or condemned?

We all have things that we wrestle with. Sometimes it might be financial burdens. Sometimes it might be things that we’re tempted by.

Sometimes we don’t even know why we’re feeling worn out. We just know that we’re tired and it feels like we’re about to collapse.

Jesus said He came to give us rest. Will you trust Him? Will you take those burdens and place them at His feet?

We often teach people that our sins and our cares can be like an invisible backpack that we carry around. Every time we mess up, a new rock gets placed in that backpack. Every time we doubt God or feel condemned by the enemy, another rock gets tossed into that backpack. Anger, bitterness and unforgiveness can also put more rocks in there too.

Before we know it, we’re carrying around a lot of extra weight that we were not meant to carry. And it wears us out.

So, today, let’s take that backpack off and lay it at the feet of Jesus and leave it there. Permanently.

Come to Jesus, all you who are tired and burdened down. He will give you rest.
