Mathew 11:28 (KJV) “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.
Bisi borrowed a book from a senior colleague while in school. He knew this fellow was about to graduate, but he wanted to finish reading everything in the book. Unfortunately, this friend graduated, but Bisi could not return the book. Thereafter he heard a sermon on restitution and this fueled every sting of condemnation in his heart because he tried to locate this friend but all efforts proved abortive. He labored in this condemnation for years until he read Mat 11:28. He saw Jesus in that scripture calling out to him to BRING IT ALL. Immediately, he found God’s peace in his heart.
Just like Bisi, you may be stuck with this kind of arrow in your heart, especially when scripture is pointing to your wrongs. My dear, the scripture must point to your wrongs, but it is not always within your strength to right the wrongs. Take that embargo of the devil upon you to Jesus and He will give you peace in exchange. He will free your heart from all condemnation and give you the strength and wisdom to do what is required.
Don’t be too anxious and careful to prove yourself before God because your proof is already in Christ. By grace, you have already been accepted in God’s beloved family (see Eph 1:6), Read Phil 4:6,
1 Peter 5:7: Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. [NET]
As you go into today, note this: there is no question you cannot find its answer in Christ. BRING IT ALL.
Prayer: I surrender all my bewildering questions to you Lord, withholding nothing. Thank you Father for as long as my questions are in Your hands, I can go about your business with a peaceful heart. Amen.
