At our last Saturday's house meeting, we gathered after dinner to ponder on the scriptures led by Mark Myher. We focused on the topic of "STRESS" and how Jesus understood this consuming emotion that can come in and like a thief, overtake our minds and darken His Light.
Jesus asks that we invite Him in to lift this burden from our souls. We do this by taking heed to His instructions and applying them to our lives daily. We listened to the words of Jesus Himself in Matthew 11:28-30 which says Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Today in our world, we are facing many challenges that effect how we respond to our families and towards one another as our problems and burdens become the focus of our attention. We were never created to live that way so why is this such a struggle for us? We went into further discussion on how God has worked with us through difficult situations and saw us through. after sharing our lives experiences, we were encouraged by the reminder that Jesus is reaching out His hand in truth from His Word and through the works He does through our lives. What a gift we have in one another whom Christ dwells within to walk with in this journey each week!
