Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Vacations are great. Really great. At times, the longing for a break from this work-a-day world spurs dreamy thoughts of far away tropical places.
True rest however, is not found in the fleeing afar off, but rather in the drawing near.
Vacation preparation does not come without expense.
Rest in Jesus will cost you something too. These costly items cannot be ‘picked up’ though.
These things must be laid down
Lay down your…
Pride
Shame
Guilt
Will
Burden
Draw near today weary one.
Lay down life’s burdens.
Find true rest for your soul that only Jesus can give.
