Day 8

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

This entry may have been more appropriate on Day 7. Its about rest that the Israelites in the wilderness did not experience even after entering the promised land. Spiritual resting which Jesus calls upon his people to enter involves trusting and depending on the provisions of God. Resting in Jesus does not mean inactivity where we are not responsible for anything. It requires active trusting. Anyone anxious today? Anyone stressed out about life's circumstances? Anyone tired or burdened by anything? This verse is for you. You have the qualifications for coming to Jesus. Resting in Jesus takes away the exhaustion of life and replenishes our soul. Enter into the rest Jesus provides.
