Resting in God's Hands

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29 English Standard Version

It's easy to feel alone in world that treats us like cattle heading to slaughter. We're the meat that someone else consumes. We're the step to our boss's next promotion. We're the gum stuck to a stranger's shoe.

Sometimes we need an arm around our shoulders assuring us that we're not alone.

When life is in God's hands, we find rest for our souls. Not only do we find rest in his hands but it is also his arm that we find gently laid upon our shoulders. He doesn't regard us as gum, a step, or meat. He knows us by name. He is our Father. We are his children. It is in God's heart to place an arm around our shoulders.

It is in God that we find comfort.  It is in his Son, Jesus Christ, that we find rest for our souls.

Life is better in God's hands.
