“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways, and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.” Matthew 11:28-30 TPT

Last night, as my spirit cried out to the Lord and my mind kept telling me lies it wanted me to buy, I went to the Lord, and He refreshed me. My sleep was threatened, but that’s the nice thing about joining my life with His, we’re yoked, inseparable, He carries what I carry.

We have a tendency to over-complicate things, but it’s quite simple, really. Let me put it in perspective for you; the One who filled the sky with stars and causes the sun to come up each day, wants to be in you and take care of you.

How can you say no to that? How can you think that you can do better than He? He wants to take care of this thing you’re carrying, and letting go of it is the only way to free yourself from the care of it. If you have to do it a gazillion times a day, do it.

I don’t understand what’s going on in the world, but I just keep doing what He said to do; SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL FIND ME.

A sweet song my mom used to sing; “It’s me again, Lord, I’ve got a prayer that needs an answer. It’s me again, Lord. I’ve got a problem that I can’t solve. I don’t mean to weary You, but here I am facing something new, and I need help that only comes from You. It’s me again, Lord.”

We never weary the Lord with our constant coming. He wants to be our oasis, our place of refreshing. Sit with Him awhile and learn of Him. He’s easy to please. He took the heavy stuff and gave us the light stuff.

Father, I will yield to Your yoke because it fits. It was made so I would never have to do life alone. I’m so thankful for our relationship together. I trust You to take all of my cares while I spend time learning about Your kindness, Your mercy, and Your grace. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
