Stress Free Living

#FAITHFRIDAY

Right now in the midst of chaos, we can live STRESS FREE! In Matthew 11:28 Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]”

King Jesus instructed us to come to Him, NOT our momma, or our ‘BFF’. He is ready to give us refreshment for our soul: our mind, will and emotions. Ooo-Wee! Does that sound good to you? It does to me!

In verse 29-30 He continues with HOW to receive His rest, “Take My yoke upon you and LEARN of ME, for I am GENTLE and HUMBLE in heart, and you will find REST (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. 30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good–not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is LIGHT and EASY to be borne.”  

During this season, in order to stay at rest, we must take (receive) the yoke Jesus is offering us and take advantage of this time to learn of Him! If it’s not light and easy, it’s not Him. We CHOOSE to yield to the fruit of gentleness, not lashing out in anger and frustration. We choose humility by refusing proud thinking and ask Him for help. I Peter 5:6-7 explains how true humility casts its care:

“Therefore humble yourselves…under the mighty hand of God, that in due season He may exalt you. Casting the whole of your care [ALL your anxieties, ALL your worries, ALL your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.”

We are casting our care with you and choosing to live stress free!

For when we STAY in FAITH,
VICTORY IS GUARANTEED!
