Real Rest
JANUARY 16, 2026
Daily Reading—Genesis 33-34 / Matthew 11:20-30
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
It was very possible that in today’s verse, Christ was speaking to Jewish people who had been oppressed by the ceremonial and ritualistic laws of their religion. He was saying to them, If you embrace me as your Saviour, you can then rest from these burdensome, legalistic, man-made laws. That had to sound good.
As we read it today, He is telling us the same thing. Many have searched for the truth in life and tried to find it in work, wealth, worldliness, and whatever might fill that emptiness inside. In John 14:6, it says Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Once you find that Jesus’ way is the truth of life, you can rest from the constant search.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Will it be His way of rest or your way of worry?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
