Day Four – Christ Who Strengthens

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. Matt. 11:29‭-‬30

A yoke of two takes the strength of both oxen to become a greater strength than just one. If one oxen is stronger than the other, it will help the weaker become stronger as they work together. When Christ calls us to take on His yoke, He has no intention of leaving us on our own. He is there to teach us how to make the best choices, to follow the best paths.

There have been times when we’ve made bad decisions or went down a path that shouldn’t have been traveled. It’s during those times Jesus has carried us urging us forward and onward. Our strength is ultimately found in Jesus Christ. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13. It’s His power, strength and might that gets us through the tough times.
