God’s Truth for Trying Times - 8/22/20

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: ‬Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."”
‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬)

CONSIDER: This is an invitation from Jesus to come to him for salvation, to admit your need of a Savior, to admit your spiritual bankruptcy, and to come to him and trust in his finished work on the cross, paying the penalty your sins deserved. Sin is an ugly task master, but Jesus is the most loving and gracious Master.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?
