Connecting With Jesus

Our Devotional Message was prepared by ND Willie

Good morning Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

Our manna this morning is entitled:

WHEN YOUR BURDEN BECOMES TOO HEAVY

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).

In these times so many people live under incredible pressure. Tension and stress take their toll on young as well as old. Children and young people are under immense pressure to excel in their studies and their sporting a activities.

Business people struggle to keep head above water in an extremely competitive environment. The elderly experience an increasingly uncertain future and constantly worry about their security. People of all ages are exposed to all kinds of temptations that promise only disaster for them and their loved ones.

Professional counseling, medical treatment and medication have become common remedies for people suffering from tension. In most cases these are only temporary measures that are merely a crutch to help people stumble through life. And still the tension keeps increasing.

There is only one infallible way of coping with tension and stress, and this is Christ’s way. He, who also lived and worked under immense pressure, offers you the peace that banishes all anxiety and fear and gives you the ability to cope with life in the strength of the Master. Accept His gift of peace and rest.

Amen!
Have a blessed morning everyone.
May God bless us all.
