“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.” (Matthew 11:29, NASB)
“What is it to be yoked to the Lord? It implies willing, contented cooperation with Him in the divine plan. Of course the yoke limits the ox; it cannot wander all over the field as it pleases, but must take a straight line forward … And here is the value of the lowliness of heart that does not think big, ambitious things of itself, but is willing for any place God appoints, even though it be at the very bottom …
He is perfectly willing for what God has ordained. And the question is, Are we content to accept His limitations and go along with Him? For the deepest rest is this “rest unto our souls.”
(from A Table in the Wilderness, by Watchman Nee, November 16th)
