Today’s Scripture: Matthew 11:29 ESV: 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.
I learn from Jesus just as Matthew 11:29 promises and in the learning there is rest for my soul. Often as I walk to my prayer closet I think of how Jesus must have felt walking to meet with the Father on those pre-dawn walks to get alone and pray.
How did He prepare His heart to meet with the Father, the Lord of Heaven and Earth? How do I prepare my heart? I lay my soul before God and ask Him to teach me. I ask Jesus and His Holy Spirit to fill me in the silence with God. Teach me LORD as you teach Your Son. Jesus please teach me.
Here is Jesus in Matthew 11:25 saying “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth”. I too am thankful I can thank the Lord for His teaching. In Him I find rest for my soul and direction for my day.
Do you seek to learn from Jesus?
Today’s Prayer: Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank You for giving me Jesus to learn from. Thank You for Your Word. You fill me with thanksgiving LORD and may my lips ever praise You. I pray Your people turn to you in prayer seeking forgiveness and teaching. Your student is ready. Thank You for rest for my soul. Amen
