HE WILL GIVE US REST

“Come unto me, all ye that labour 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.”

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV

Jesus won the war over evil and satan when He defeated satan on the cross.  However, we are still in a battle and we must stand firm and not let satan discourage us so much that we stop serving Jesus.  It makes satan very angry when we serve Jesus and he will do his best to stop us from serving Jesus.

I have received several emails from people who wrote and told me that they are tired and feel like giving up because satan has caused problems and lied to them.  We must stay on the battle field for Jesus.  Are you weary of being on guard against satan and his vicious attacks?  Tell Jesus, He will help you.

Jesus knows how it feels to be weary and tired and He also knows how it feels to be tempted by satan.  Jesus did not give in to temptation and sin when satan was tempting Him.  It’s not a sin to be tempted, it only becomes sin when we give in and do what we know is wrong.  It also hurts God and breaks His heart.

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who is weary and tired.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have comforted and encouraged me so many times.  Jesus, please pick them up and carry them through the dark valley and set them once again on the mountain top of happiness.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
