Show Notes

Things are tough for everyone right now. Today we take courage and strength from the promises of Jesus when He tells us that He will give us rest in Matthew 11:28-30.  This rest comes from our “taking His yoke” - being bound to His life, His strength, and His ways. We don’t have to do things on our own, we don’t have to just “get by in survival mode.” The Creator of the Universe is right beside us every day, all day long, pulling for us, pulling with us, even dwelling within us. It’s not like we don’t have any problems - He even promises us in John 16 that “in this world you will have trouble.” It’s that next sentence - in the same breath, the Savior says, “but take courage: I have overcome the world.” The overcomer is on our side and at our side, making us (as Paul will later write) more than conquerors!
