You Donkey!

Thoughts from a Bible study I attended today:

Did you realise that Christ never calls us donkeys but He calls us His sheeps?

Why is that so?
Think about it, who carries burdens?
The donkey or the sheep?

Beloved ones, our Lord called us to be His sheep because He is our Great Shepherd who will lead us, guide us, tend us to health in our weaknesses, and carrying us on his back when we are tired.
As His sheep, we were intended to carry His burden but never our own.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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” (Mt 11:28-30)

In His Omniscience, He knows the difficulties and temptations we faced daily in school, at work, home and even in the church.

In His Omnipresence, He is there when we struggle, when we cry and even when we fall.
He has firmly promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”

Yet unless we look to Him, we will fail to see His Strength in our circumstances, we fail to realize His Love which faithfully carries us through the difficulty, or even His peace that He has promised if we present our requests to Him.

“Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit,” says the LORD of hosts. (Zech 4:6)

In spite of our unworthiness and cursed state, Christ our great Shepherd bore our sins and paid for our lives. Is there anything in our lives that is too difficult for Him?

Are you still carrying your burdens?
Have you surrendered your cares, your frustrations and your anxieties at His feet Today?

Reach out to Him today!
