This Scripture assures us that God can provide endurance to the tired and might to the faint. It promises that we can rely on God during times of feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and devastated. But how? It takes us to the familiar words of Jesus in Matthew 11: 28-30 where He invites us to take His yoke upon us and learn from Him. These verses harkening back to the agricultural practices of the times when an older, and well-trained ox was yoked together with a young and inexperienced ox…with the older training and mentoring the younger one as they worked together. Thus, the only way to know the strength of God is to take up one end of the yoke, and pull together. Yes, the yoke of Jesus is demanding, but He promises it will be easy. So when those feelings of life’s challenges overwhelm us…we can find rest and peace in Him…for we don’t have to carry our struggles alone.
