† Scripture Of the Day: Matthew 11:28-29 †

 

 

"I'm Tired!!"

 

† SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Matthew 11:28-29

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. † ** Thoughts On This Verse: I'm not sure about anyone else, but lately I just seem tired, worn out, and just plain lazy at times. Sometimes I find it hard to g...et going and the simplest tasks just take forever for me to get them done. Sometimes the day-to-day grind just seems to grind me down. So I guess when we're that "down" stage that's probably a perfect opportunity to look up and to pray, and when I pray for strength Matthew 11:28-29 is usually the verse that the Lord lays on my heart. A passage in His Word that tells me that this "weary" or tired state that I'm in right now won't last forever. It's also a reminder for us to not try to carry everything on our own shoulders but to come to Him and let Him help us carry the load. That is exactly what He desires of His children is for us to come to Him and hand Him our burdens and simply rest. **

I hope if you've taken a few moments out of your day to read this little devotional, that hopefully you've gotten something out of it that you can take with you. I hope the Lord somehow used these words to speak straight to your heart and somehow He has given you just what you needed to get through this day.

Much Love And Prayers,

Good Afternoon, Friends!! I feel led to start doing a

"Bible verse of the day" on my page.

Also, April is Child Abuse Awareness Month so I wanted to share a this with you all: 

 

†Psalm 127:3- Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. †

Thoughts on this Scripture: Our children are one of God's most precious gifts and God's gifts are meant to be cherished and protected. We are to hold our children close to us and keep them from harm. Those who abuse their children, not just physically but emotionally, mentally, verbally or any other way are in direct disobedience of God's commandments. So as we observe Child Abuse Awareness Month, lets hold our own children a little closer and give them an extra hug or two and remember just how precious they are and how blessed we are for God to have chosen us to be their parents! ♥

I hope someone who reads this will get something out of it that they can take with them today. I hope someone will be touched and inspired today. Please feel free to comment and share your own thoughts on today's Scripture. Let's also remember to uplift those children who are living in abusive homes and pray for their safety and deliverance in Jesus' Name!
