Matthew 11:27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Matthew 7:7 comes strongly to mind as I read Matthew 11:27: “Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” I can’t help but think the Son chooses to reveal the Father to those who ask, seek, and knock, actively trying to know the Lord more.
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Verse 28 puts me in mind of the job that I do. Some days are really hard. But when I am able to connect with a student, give them hope and encouragement, those days I can totally see how He gives me rest as He works alongside me in the classroom.
Matthew 11:29 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.
Lord, Thank You for the invitation to ask, seek, knock. Thank You that You are not a god behind the curtain—pulling all the strings but not known or knowable. Thank You that You are in the trenches with me, beside me, helping me every step of the way. Thank You. Amen.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Have a blessed day. I love you.
