How often do we misunderstand and argue with God? I can hear Him now, in frustration, as He makes His plea with my stubbornness. Too often, this is how our conversation might go:
Jesus spoke, “Take my yoke.”
I thought in my head and said, “But won’t that will make, heavy, my tread.”
Jesus: “No my child, it will lighten your load upon the road. I will carry the weight and make your steps straight.”
Me: “But, when you enter my space it will slow my pace.”
Jesus: “Sometimes, too fast is your stride. I’ll be your guide. Easy is my yoke, not like one made of oak.
Me: "If I slow, things might not go my way or get done today.
Jesus: Trust me! Your burden will become light, easing your plight. Take my yoke and wear my cloak."
I love how patient God is with me, His wayward child! His Words are always true: "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30 NIV
