Take My Yoke upon you

letter [from Gh]

Matthew 11:28-30 (New International Version – UK)

28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 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.

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Isaiah 40:28-31 (New International Version – UK)

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no-one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Galatians 5:1 (New International Version – UK)

1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

A cloud over the people of wickedness but on Mount Zion his hand rests and there he will remove the cloud of darkness that covers his dear people. we need to continually dwell on Mount Zion
