“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Sometimes, there are situations and circumstances that leave many discouraged, weak, depressed or distressed.
What has sapped your strength? Is it the hard economic conditions in the country, loss of a dear one, loss of property or job, failing health or financial challenge?
For all who trusted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, there is only one option - focus on Jesus’ finished work and depend on God’s ability to deliver completely.
By faith, trust the grace that only God gives, and not on your own strength, for by strength shall no man prevail (1 Samuel 2:9).
Jesus’ invitation sums it up – “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). This is a promise of strength and rest.
Are you passing through the "valley of discouragement"?
O God, strengthen all those who are discouraged and lift up those whose heads are bowed down by distress IJN.
Shalom!
