My Yoke Is Easy

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come unto Me,all that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Truly as we are yoked with Christ, both of us handle life by His strength. As some of you know I experience panic attacks. I've discovered the power of trust in Christ can lead me to freedom. I am also applying this trust as I pray for others. I pray for others, no longer hindered by double mindedness. I can boldly go to God for intercession and wisdom. I am excited for the assurance God is giving me. I now can apply His love to prayer. Love declares "Bears all thing. believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Truly as I pray God's Word, I can be confident that my prayers will be answered. John 15:7 "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

I am reminded of the need to be persistent and fervent in prayer. "O' Lord, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

God's Role

I've been pondering God's role in my spiritual growth. I've realized my only part is being good soil. This isn't even something I do, but God's work also. God's main job is to prepare the soil. Once the soil is prepared, God waters the seed. He waters it by the washing of the Word. I am amazed as to how God has worked and lead. As my soil is good. I will delight myself in God and He will give me His desires for my life. God waters prominently by the promises He allows me to receive and to apply. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these we might be made par tackers of the divine nature. Truly not only are we refreshed by showers, but also being close to waters streams as found in Psalm 1. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law doth he meditate day and night and he shall be like a tree planted by rivers of water. His leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he does shall prosper. Pray to God for good soil and promises to be watered by.
