The Promises of God’s Word
Dr. Charles Stanley reminds us of the clutter in our lives—mailboxes overflowing with junk mail, messages that often hold little value. In contrast, the Word of God is timeless, meaningful, and always worth opening. Unlike junk mail, every word in the Bible is purposeful, speaking directly to our hearts and circumstances.

God’s Word is always available—no holidays, no interruptions. Whether you’re seeking guidance, reassurance, or answers, it holds promises that surpass all worldly offers. Dr. Stanley challenges us to make scripture a daily priority, recognizing that God always has something to say to us.

An Invitation to Rest: Matthew 11:28-30
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus extends a powerful invitation:
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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.”

This divine promise speaks to anyone feeling the weight of life’s challenges. From financial struggles to strained relationships, burdens can feel overwhelming. Yet, Jesus offers a different kind of yoke—a partnership with Him that brings peace and rest to our souls.

Exchange Your Yoke for His
Dr. Stanley explains the significance of the yoke—a tool traditionally used to bind two animals together to share the load. While the world places heavy burdens on us, Jesus invites us to take His yoke, crafted uniquely for us. His yoke is light, His guidance gentle, and His presence unwavering.

Think about the burdens you carry—whether they’re debts, strained relationships, or daily pressures. Are they weighing you down? Jesus offers rest and a new way of life. By learning from Him, you’ll discover a peace that surpasses understanding and a strength to face every challenge.

A Call to Action
What yoke are you carrying today? Is it one of fear, exhaustion, or discouragement? Whatever it is, Jesus invites you to lay it down and take up His yoke. Open God’s Word daily, seek His wisdom, and experience the transformation that comes from walking in partnership with Him.
