Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest.\r\nTake My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.\r\nTopic\uff1a<\/strong>Encouraging John the Baptist not to be stumbled, because Jesus only did what is well-pleasing in God\u2019s sight.\r\nEmphasis\uff1a<\/strong>When God did not do what John expected (releasing him from the prison), he was troubled. Jesus encouraged him by testifying that He will only do what is well-pleasing in God\u2019s sight. Jesus also reminded disciples that the Lord is dear and near.\r\nMeditate\uff1a<\/strong>Christians\u2019 journeys are destined by God, which may not match our expectations. Here is a test, testing how much we know God\u2019s heart and His love.\r\nPrayer\uff1a<\/strong>Thank You Lord that You are meek and lowly in heart. Thank You for preserving me that I can come to You today to experience You as my rest. When things are not going my way, I would not be stumbled. Rather, I would be kept in You as my faith. \r\nHymn\uff1a<\/strong>398 O to be like Thee<\/a>\r\n
