Jesus knows us all so very well and He’s always miles ahead of us but He told us what to do when we feel worn down with our problems or situations. He invites us to come to Him, to cast all those cares over on to Him because He has all the answers and He knows the big picture. God’s purposes will come to pass when we believe His promises!
So often we can only see a small bit of the path ahead and things can seem impossible, so unlikely, and life may appear so unpredictable, but not with God. When we feel harassed or anxious we need to come back to that place of rest, of knowing we’re in the palm of God’s hand and He is in control of our lives when we put our trust in Him.
If our heart is to follow Him, to please Him, then He will make our crooked paths straight, He will go ahead of us and surround us with His favour so that we meet the people we should meet, and be in the right place at the right time, so that His plans can come to pass in our lives. Closed doors are just as much a blessing as open ones sometimes!
If we’re feeling weary or weighed down with our burdens, or the burdens of others, then we’re carrying burdens we weren’t meant to carry! We’re meant to pass them over to God in prayer so He can take care of them.😊
God is reminding us it’s time to come back to Matthew 11:28-30 and sit there for a while with Him, and do what it says; give it all to Him, and let God do what only He can do in His own time. Amen.

ReplyDeleteBe encouraged because God knows how you feel but remember feelings can change quite quickly if we start to speak out God’s promises over our lives. Look up again and remember God loves you, He is holding you up and He is turning things around
