Cast Off The Burdens

We have opportunity as believers to be free from some of the heavy burdens of life. Yeshua (Jesus) spoke about this.

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 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.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Yeshua (Jesus) is referring to His teaching here when He speaks of the yoke. It was a common Hebrew understanding that a rabbi and his followers were yoked together by the teachings of that rabbi. Yeshua (Jesus) is speaking to the people (and to us) saying that His we are to be yoked to Him by His teachings and that they are light, unlike the spiritual rulers of that day (or perhaps this day). Interestingly it says here that only those that Yeshua (Jesus) determines to reveal the Father to will see Him. This very thing is happening in churches around the world today. Many are becoming aware that the bible is a whole book, not one with half of it to be thrown away. To Yahuah (Lord) be the glory!

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the Majestic One. You are King. We praise and thank the name Yahuah! Send us Your overwhelming provision today, Father. We need You. We need Your provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from those that would steal from us and take what You alone have given to us. In Yeshua’s (Jesus) name. Amen.
