Weary? Get Yoked with Jesus.

"Come to me, all you 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."
Matthew 11: 28-31

I didn't know this ... but a yoke is that thing oxen wear to plow. Farmers put them on to teach them and guide them so they don’t get distracted and walk off the plowing path.

When two are yoked their heads are both together, and they have to learn to walk together and stay on the path … So I figure if we are yoked with Christ, He’ll walk next to us and keep us on the path – even when we get distracted and want to stray.

It also says His yoke is easy ... meaning maybe following Him is easy if you let Him be the guide. If we take HIS yoke upon us ... and not try to put OUR yoke on to Him.

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling the need to get yoked up with Christ these days.
