For Rest,
Take His Yoke

For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:30

Reading:

Matthew 11:25-30

Will I be pleased and satisfied with what is good in God’s sight?

Am I prone to revel in the Son’s revelation of the Father to me?

How do those two questions relate to weariness and rest?

When was the last time I went to Jesus for rest?

Did I learn my meekness and lowliness from Jesus?

What is the connection between Jesus’ meekness and lowliness…and my soul’s rest?

“My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30) — Does my experience confirm that?

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 11:28 -- Come unto me]
from Matthew 11:28

I Need This Also!

Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Matthew 4:11

Reading:

Matthew 4:1-11

I don’t recall ever being under such a barrage of temptation of so great intensity and variety.

So this account is extremely applicable to be.

May it also be instructive and helpful.

As I read down through the Scripture text, I extracted these questions:

Does God expect me to live “by every word” (Matthew 4:4) that comes from Him?

Do I question and challenge God’s character, integrity, and purposes?

How do the kingdoms and glory of this world affect me?

Am I keeping my worship and service exclusively for God alone?

What (and for what) is my knowledge of God’s Word?

How shall I prepare now for temptations later?

What can I learn from my last defeat during temptation?
