The Yoke That Wins
Yeshua (Jesus) said that would should take His yoke upon us. This had a particular meaning.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
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.
What was His yoke? He was a teacher, a rabbi, and His yoke was His teachings. What did He teach. He revealed the Father to people. He taught the Torah, not the traditions of me. He lived out the Torah before them. When we do this, we actually are in spiritual warfare, and our Father Yahuah (Lord) is fighting on our behalf. For this we can praise Him!
Psalms 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are the only King. We exalt the name Yahuah (Lord). Send us today Your abundant provision. Forgive us our sins, for they are many when we transgress Your commands. Heal up our hearts. Deliver us from those that would steal what You have given. Come with a strong hand and outstretched arm. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
