An Invitation - Matthew 11:28-30
Psalm 119:143
“As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands”.
When reading the Bible, there you find God’s Presence.
There is such a thing as “joy” in your heart, when you allow God to speak to you, when you “enjoy” those moments of reading the Bible.
At the same time, you are being “refreshed” - like having a cold drink after a long workout.
Proverbs 25:25
“Like a cool drink of water when you're worn out and weary”
Are you tired? anxious? angry? depressed? lonely?
Try unwinding and relaxing by reading the Bible.
A great starting place could be in Proverbs. Here you begin to get understanding of who God is.
Another place, where you can begin would be in John.
Here you read about who Jesus is.
Remember that a good way to relax is to turn on “worship” music. This type of music is uplifting to your soul. Your soul needs to be refreshed and watered, just as your body needs rest and food.
Challenge 4 you:
Try “turning off” the things of this world, and enjoy finding the presence of God.
An Invitation from Jesus, Matthew 11:27-30
Then Jesus said,
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest”
“Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
I've been pushing aside my reading n listening to my worship songs n this message is a good reminder for me to get back to what I should be doing. Reading is essential n worship songs can quickly heal a hurting soul n bring life back to one's day. Thank u sis!
