His Yoke is Light

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light"
Matthew 11:29

If you don't know, the yoke is a wooden bar that is attached to the necks of a pair of animals (commonly oxen) and this allows whatever load that is being pulled or whatever labor that is being done easier work to do. Christ is calling us to join Him on His yoke. Can you imagine working side by side with the saviour?! He's perfect, no mistakes and the load will be so light. What's keeping us from abandoning our own yoke to work with Him using His? Why is it hard for us to let go of our struggles and go into a life of prosperity?

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."  Ephesians 2 : 10

'created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand'...when we take the yoke of Christ, our burden becomes light. God prepared the good works that we were created to do! When you share God's love with others, it isn't you who comes up with the plan...God prepares that moment for you. ALL you have to do is be ready! All we have to do is be ready for those open doors of opportunity! Isn't the yoke of Christ truly light?

Prayer: Thank you Father that Your yoke and burden is light; that when we decide to work with You, You make it easier for us! Amen.
