The Lord says to come to him, and he will give you rest. Just make sure the burden you are bearing is the right kind of burden. We should never bear the burden of sin or doubt, but at times God places other burdens on us he doesn\u2019t intend to lift. He gives them to us so that we will give them back to him: \u201cCast your cares on the Lord\u201d (Psalm 55:22).<br>If we take on work for God and then get out of touch with him, the sense of responsibility is crushing. But if we roll back onto God the burden he\u2019s placed on us, he takes away our sense of responsibility, removing it by bringing in a strong realization of himself.<br>Many who do God\u2019s work start out with high courage and fine intentions. But if they aren\u2019t in intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, they are soon overwhelmed. Their cares exhaust them, and their fine beginning comes to a bitter end.<br>\u201cFor my yoke is easy and my burden is light\u201d (Matthew 11:30). You have been bearing it all. Jesus wants to ease the strain. Deliberately put one end of the yoke on his shoulders. Commit to God the burden he has given you. Never disassociate yourself from it; never fling it carelessly away. Instead, put the burden over on God, and yourself beside him. If you do, the sense of companionship you\u2019ll find with your Lord will immediately lighten your load.<br>By Oswald Chambers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. \u2014 Matthew 11:28 Are you weary and burdened?
