Day 285: Matthew 11

Today on Meditating the Word: Jesus and John the Baptist, Woe on Unrepentant Towns, the Father Revealed in the Son

This is Day 285. Today we are reading Matthew 11 ----

Father God, we come to You when we are weary. We come to You when we are burdened by the cares of this world. And especially today, Father, there are many burdens and cares and strife and wars going on in the world. Surely, we must be in the end times, because we see celebrating in the streets over war and murder and destruction. But You have promised rest. So we throw our burdens at Your feet. We cast them down and we leave them there, taking up Your yoke, which is easy and light to bear. In You we find rest for our souls. Help us to remain in that rest, Father, no matter what is happening in the world around us. Amen
