I hope you are able to enjoy this Labor Day. It’s always good to have a day just to rest and relax. But sometimes our bodies and minds need more than just one day to recover, especially when our hearts are breaking and burdened from all sorts of issues.
It’s comforting to know that we don’t have to bear our burdens alone. I love these verses that promise God will give us rest. He calls us to “come” (everyone who labors and is heavy laden). Being “yoked” together with Him assures us that He is right beside us helping us carry our burden. We don’t do it alone. Walking with Him assures us that we will receive a true rest for our souls.
I’m glad we don’t have to wait for Labor Day to experience this kind of rest. “Come unto me” is for anytime. Is this what you need to do?
