Have you ever seen a yoke used for plowing? There are two holes for two animals. Typically, an experienced animal will be paired with a less experienced one, and the two must work together.
Jesus says His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We have work to do and burdens to bear in this life, but He is with us, working with us, to gently guide us through all of life’s challenges.
He does not force us to be under the yoke with Him, but if we choose that yoke, it will be “easy and light,” just as He promised.
Lord, let us be under that yoke with You. Let us be joined to You. Bind our wandering hearts to Your Heart and lead us and guide us along Your path and in Your ways.
