I have been having to remind myself often that if I am feeling excessively burdened,
I'm wearing the wrong yoke:
Jesus said:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
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.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
(Matt 11:28)
Every time I except the yoke Jesus has offered me, I find I somehow inadvertently slip the old yoke of self-importance and excessive responsibility back over my head. Then I get frustrated that I'm so burdened. I'm switching yokes (AGAIN), and accepting the one My Savior has prepared for me. I'm sorry I'm such a stubborn Ox.
