How you doin? Please
be praying for a hedge of protection around our family. I'm guessing
that, "those who lay in wait", aren't happy about what's going on with
us. Especially the kids. They seem to be targeted right now. We know
that there is break through coming. Every time we experience attack,
there's something HUGE that follows. We will choose to stand in God's
victory, authority, and love.
At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“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.” (Matthew 11:25-30)
Today, this sounded different to me. Especially the bold parts. I added 11:25-27 because they're AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! "Learn from me", referenced these other verses-
I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. (John 13:15)
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: (Philippians 2:5) Other translations say, "have a Christ like attitude".
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. (1 John 2:6)
"find rest for your souls", I never heard, "souls", before. That is really my true prayer, rest for my soul. My spirit is settled and sealed. Rest for my body is intact, most of the time. Rest for my body has a fairly easy solution, but rest for my soul is tough. I often say that my mind, which is part of my soul, is the trouble spot. "My burden is light", I heard it as His burden is light. Meaning that Jesus has little or light burden. Which made me think, good for you. In my bible, "my burden is light", referenced 1 John 5:3. Of course, I read around it.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (1 John 5:1-5)
This made me see that, "my burden is light", means keeping His commandments is not a burden. Jesus is a gift, not a burden. Living a Christian or, "Christ-in" live is not a burden or sacrifice, it's a blessing and privilege. It's receiving your inheritance here on earth, instead of waiting until you die. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a good word. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Over come the world today!
