"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 my burden is light." (Matthew 11: 29-30)
Jesus said, " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". Indeed in this world today, we are troubled by many things in life. What to eat, what to wear, exams, work, love, etc. Sometimes these things give us so much pressure and burden that we feel like we couldn't walk a step further.
Lately, exams have been bugging me a lot. Exams never really did gave me that much pressure in the past before but after my first failed paper last semester, I've got a fear of failing again. Failing wouldn't give me that much pressure if I didn't know that if I couldn't finish all my papers by my final semester, I would need to wait for a year before I could proceed further. This means I would have wasted a year if I failed by next semester. I got no margin for error. That's why, I've been the most stressed this semester on exams. Plus, I've to handle all my internship things for next semester, which are not going as smoothly as I thought.
Yesterday night, I just couldn't study anymore. I've been forcing myself to study but nothing was going in. I turned to God and asked Him what to do and the verse Matthew 11: 26 which talks about rest for the weary was the topic for devotion. Take His yoke upon my shoulders for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I sensed as if God is telling me to do my best, but the rest leave it to Him. Do no be burden by the things in life, but whatever it is, focus on Him and He will bring me through. Amen.
