Matthew 11:28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
As I "dropped" (loudly) my phone this morning, I realized that something has to change. Phone rage that early in the morning is just really not a good thing. And it's only a job, not much different today than yesterday and it's easy to predict what tomorrow will be like. What's the point of letting it affect my attitude? The job won't change. So that means my attitude has to. Or am I looking at something bigger than that? A life change? I'm not sure.
I think about this verse sometimes. It's really a promise to free us from the restrictions under religious law. Jesus brought a new way, a new life, a freedom. But I really want some rest too. Last night, after a marathon revamping session at the beauty salon, I missed my Bible study, so I had 3 precious hours...where I refused to study or do housework. Yesterday was a total whirlwind of meeting, and meeting, and meeting. So I didn't meet last night, something that probably would have helped. I was forced to cook for a potluck today, but even that burden was easier with more time. It all comes back to that time...time to breathe.
