Dec.12.03: Light For The Day - "I will Give You Rest." -- Matthew 11:28 (NIVUS) "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,  and I will give you rest." --------------- You that are weary with the rounds of worldly pleasure, stuffed and nauseated with vain glories and delusions of life, come and find true joy. You that are worn with ambition, corroded with disappointment, or embittered by the faithlessness of those you trusted, come and confide in Jesus. He will be your rest. Weary, weary, weary ones, here is the rest, here is the refreshment.  Jesus expressly puts it,  “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matt. 11:28–30). If your back is breaking, if your eyes are failing through weary watching and waiting, come to the Savior just as you are.  He will be your rest. -- C.H.Spurgeon ---------------- -- Isaiah 45:22 (NIVUS) "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth;  for I am God, and there is no other." -- Matthew 11:28-30 (NIVUS) 28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,  and I will give you rest. 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -- Psalms 62:1  "My soul finds rest in God alone;  my salvation comes from Him." -- Psalms 62:5  "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;  my hope comes from Him." -- Psalms 116:7  Be at rest once more, O my soul,  for the LORD has been good to you."
