Today’s verse — Matthew 11:28–30 (KJV)
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest… For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Jesus isn’t recruiting superheroes. He’s inviting tired people to walk beside Him. A “yoke” ties two oxen together so they share the load. His way doesn’t remove hard things; it replaces solo strain with shared strength, steady pace, and a Leader who carries the heavy end.
How to live this today
- Name the one burden you’re hauling alone.
- Pray: “Jesus, I’m yoked with You on this.”
- Set a gentler pace: one faithful step, not five frantic ones.
- Ask for help where you’d normally just push through.
“Lord, I’m tired. Teach me Your pace. Carry what I can’t, and guide me to do what I can. Amen.”
