Today

Come and be still a while.

Gentleness is not weakness in Him; it is how He handles you.

A quiet window seat with a blanket and coffee looking over snowy fields

Your quiet place today

Stillness is not emptiness. Sit here a while.

Sign in and this changes with your own rhythm.

Come to me, all 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.

Matthew 11:28–29

Word study of the day

rest, refreshment, the cessation of toil

The Greek translators used this same word for Sabbath rest. Jesus is not offering a nap; He is offering Himself as the Sabbath.

Reflection

A yoke is still work — but shared work, set to the strength of the stronger animal. What are you pulling alone?
