Are You Weary and Burdened?
Weary and Burdened My Bible reading this morning was Matthew 11:28-30. I have this verse (mostly) memorized and have read it hundreds of times. Today God told me to dissect it. This is an example of how God’s Word is Living and Active (see Hebrews 4:12): God can use the same verse to speak to you in many ways with different messages. Since today is the day after Christmas, some of us may be feeling Weary and Burdened. All of the presents are opened and dinner is finished - all that is left is the mess and leftovers. Family and friends have left or will be leaving soon. We have to go back to work and put the decorations away - Not as fun as putting them up! I will be packing up a van-load of stuff and leaving this beautiful lake-side retreat to drive home to Memphis: weary and burdensome. So God gave me this message this morning. Matthew 11: 28-30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened Weary - whether physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. Tired, exhausted
