So, after writing and talking about this imaginary YOKE (a wooden bar) I have going on with God and me where we’re clasped together by the neck, I decided to have an appointment with Him in our bathroom late yesterday evening. There’s a copy of the book, Jesus Calling, that has morning and evening meditations, and out of over 700 pages, the very one that I randomly opened to was unbelievably an entire page dedicated to speaking about this very YOKE. Call me crazy, but that was another one of my God winks where out of the blue, everything STRANGELY lines up too perfectly to be a regular coincident. It was God saying: NIK, I’M WITH YOU, I’M WITH YOU, I’M WITH YOU!!!
It was so funny because before writing that last post a few hours prior to this and thinking to myself, ‘Nik, no one wants to hear about this yoke thing again! You just wrote about it yesterday! LOL!’ So, for me to go home and decide to have an appointment with God and for these words to show up was all His way of showing me that SURELY His Presence is ALWAYS with me (AND YOU TOO):
“Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For my yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. – Matthew 11:29-30
Like God expanded on this YOKE concept to make sure WE ALL got the FULL meaning of what this yoke really means. Wow! This gave me such happiness and peace right there in our bathroom. Knowing that with everything I have going on right now, that God is with me. In all the tribulations and difficulties, I could have the peace that surpasses understanding KNOWING that God is helping me through them all.
Are you feeling God’s Presence? That’s my prayer that you feel and know that HE is with you too. This life can undoubtedly get crazy from one moment to the next, but God wants us all knowing that He is always with us waiting to assist us in every aspect of our lives. Its for us to calm down, slow down, seek Him and be obedient to His direction (that’s the super tough part!) And when we live this way, always in God’s Divine Presence, I promise you, He will direct you on the path to the best life with Him. Wink! Wink! It’s a PRACTICE of continually asking, “God, what would You have me to do here?’ He’s turning me into a new person filled with such joy of knowing He is always with me and I have EVERYTHING I NEED – I HAVE GOD.
