Yoked With Him














(Photo by Eli)

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

-- Mathew 11:28-30

Yesterday morning I read this passage and spent some time thinking of and praying for several people I know who are right now in need of rest - physically, mentally, emotionally. Later in the day, Eli showed me a photograph of two oxen yoked together. The image flashed through my mind of being yoked together with the Lord - how I thank God that He takes the weight of the yoke for me. I LOVE it when the Lord puts a visual image of Truth right in front of my face.
