Finding Rest For Our Souls
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles Tags: Bulletin Articles on the SoulIn a time when David was being pursued by enemies who were seeking to take his life, he cried, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest” (Psalm 55:6).
When we’re facing pressure, mistreatment, or hardship, we often wish we could sprout wings and fly away — but Jesus offers us a better solution.
Rather than fleeing “from” our problems, He invites us to flee “to” Him.
He tells us to:
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me …. and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29).
Rather than wishing we could fly away and escape life’s problems, we can bring them to our Lord.
Jesus will take care of them, and we can find rest for our souls.
Let’s think about it!
