Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?   Have you ever noticed how so many people today find themselves completely exhausted?  If life is supposed to be “so much easier” than it once was, why are we so tired?

Jesus gives us some encouragement on this topic.  In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus said:  Come unto me, all ye that labour 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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all of the labor and stress of life?   There is one who understands and He desires for you to come to Him.  He wants each of us to surrender our lives to Him.  This is typically the exact opposite of what we think to do.  When things are going crazy in our lives, we strive to work harder to gain control.  Working harder isn’t the solution – giving our situation over to an all-powerful God is.  Have you taken His yoke?  Have you learned of Him and are you following the path He desires for you?  If not, you can choose to today.
