The Yoke's On You!

SCRIPTURE
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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 burden is light.” Mathew 11:28-30 NIV

OBSERVATION
I love this scripture, especially when the toils of the human condition start to rise above my neck and I feel I have to start standing on my tippy toes (can anyone else relate?). This, for me, is especially true lately as things from work, worship team, school and family are pressing and crushing in. But there was one thing that stood out to me in this scripture today that I have overlooked in past years. Besides taking his gentle yoke upon us, Jesus wants us to learn from him.

APPLICATION
Learning has been very much a part of what has been happening on the worship team as we strive to serve God in new ways. We strive to learn leadership in context of the Kingdom, strive to learn teamwork in context of a worship team, strive to master your instrument to find yourself approved and able to be used by God.

PRAYER
Dear Lord, we thank you for the opportunities that you give us to learn. May we always be conscious of your voice, your gentle direction your deep understanding and your boundless faithfulness.
