Christ's yoke is easy
We know that through the work of the Spirit all the different events of life are being made to work for good, for those who keep on loving God, those whom His purpose has called.
Romans 8:28 - William Barclay's Translation
The yoke of Christ is easy! The opportunity is given you in Christ to see God at work on your behalf in all the activities of life. You have God's Spirit with you. God's Spirit of Grace is in and with His children. The Spirit is always ready to answer prayer and cause things to flow correctly in your life so that life's burdens do not get heavy! Mat.11:28-29, Joh.16:23-24
On a normal day I have far too many tasks to accomplish to attempt to do them by my own organisational abilities and work skills. I've tried scheduling every minute of my day and pushing myself to knock off every single point on my "to do" list. The attempt threatened my health! Now I aim to live out my day just as I started it; living it in prayer and in reliance on God's Spirit to work. This makes my part easy. The way of man is to work flat out in the flesh. The way of God is to let the work of the Holy Spirit take up the strain. 2Cor.12:9, Isa.42:16.
You can push and shove your way through your day, trying to make things come together but the way of Christ is to let God's Spirit do the hard background work. In this way you can live freely and lightly. If you'll pray and move in faith, you can enjoy carrying out your part while the Holy Spirit brings together the hard part. Keep on loving God and His Spirit will ensure all things work together for good.
Invite the Spirit to work for good on your behalf!
