Today, as I sat there in the congregation, I heard those words tumble out of his mouth and I cringed in awe as he talked about what I call, 'the easiest wooden tool.' When you think about tools, they are usually big huge things that require the strength of strong buff masculine muscles (preferably from a 6-pack muscular body) to operate. At least that's what comes into my mind immediately I hear, "tool." Yeah, call me 'lazy,' but its true! But today, I found the easiest tool that can be operated by anyone...weak or strong, masculine or feminine, white or black...or even polka dot. Whichever way you come...its for one and its for all......it's the yoke of Jesus...for while He was on earth, He made an alter call and said...
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:29-30
Dwell on this...you may think it's a hard thing to want to LOVE God so much that it will make you leave all your desires behind...that you'll leave everything you have and earn, just to know a God who is invisible. You may think it's foolish to live your well-preserved world to join the crowd of heavenly junkies who act mad and act as if they have lost their minds claiming they've found their most prized possession.
But all you need is this EASY wooden tool...all you need is to take the tool...take the yoke...for when you've done so, you'll find rest...LET GO and LET GOD! How abt YOU try to act 'crazy' too. What's up with the hulla balloo? don't you even want to try finding out? How easy is His yoke? You wouldn't know...
**Inspired to tell you, after hearing the message of His yoke**

thanks for sharing girl. its so true it is when we let go and let God that we truly are in the best place.
I trully apprciate this post. I have never seen it that way. To give God our heavy tools and to exchange it with His light yoke. Have a blessed week.
wow,
sometimes when GOD wants to speak to a person he does so in very many different ways. i woke up and was getting ready for my 8am wen as usual i turned the tv on to listen to joyce meyer and she was talking abt what u just talked abt, the easy weight of christ' yoke. not in the same words as u put it but as i read ur post i got an affirmation in my spirit of what joyce began in teh morning. hey u really are an inspiration, keep up the gud job,
"Let Go and Let God", I've been reading that a lot of recent....

@ curvyice...if I didn't have to sit right still on this seat, I would have jumped in the air...(I love confirmations, I even have a post talking abt "confirmation" from God)...theres an indescribable feeling u get when u know God is confirming somn through different mediums...
