When we get overwhelmed with life, we must be careful who we are around. Jesus says be yoked with Him. The word yoked means a beam of balance. No other person can bring us balance in life but Jesus! Jesus tells us to come and release our burdens to Him. He is our beam of balance in any situation. When we release our burdens to Him, they will not stand in the way of our entering into true worship. When we are yoked with Jesus, we are close to Him. We will learn to hear His voice and know that it is Him speaking to us. When God is with us and for us, there is no safer or better place to find help and comfort than with Him. That is true rest!
