July 8, 2021 Devotional Thought: Rest in Him...Matthew 11:28
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church... "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Let's go back to the time that Jesus spoke these profound words. The crowd that He was addressing were under tremendous pressure and we're burdened down with trying to keep the Jewish Law and working to keep all of the man-made laws that had been created by the leaders (scribes and Pharisees). Unfortunately, keeping the Law of Moses requires perfection, and they were not, and neither are we! Along comes this man and He is talking about a better way, a way that offers help and hope! This invitation, this call from Jesus, was an invitation to Hope. Folks, our world situation expects obedience and this causes weariness and spiritual and physical issues. Jesus extends the same invitation to us today! You want relief? You want peace? You want rest? Cast all of your cares and concerns and burdens on Jesus. He promised His Rest! What God does with you is entirely up to you! It always has and it always will! Stay Strong Stay Focused... THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
