  Weary and heavy laden?  A Reminder… without Christ it is much worse

  Yes, I’ve been busy. I have been distracted. A lot of things are going on right now, both seemingly good and sometimes appearing not so good. I often feel tired and discouraged with not only the things going on with my life but the way that evil men are spitefully taking our country down for their own wicked purposes. I would bet that you have felt that way, too.  Maybe you feel that way even now.  That doesn’t mean that you (or I for that matter) have given up. It just means we are in the heat of the battle. And we need peace and rest for our souls in the midst of the fury of the times.

  For those who are Christ’s, we have this promise…

  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." Matthew 11:29-30 (NASB)

  Compared to the hopelessness of those who have denied God and found themselves in atheism’s bitter dregs, the rest we have in our souls in Christ is something that those folks will never share before turning to Christ for their salvation.

  Until they do, their self-imposed burdens get heavier and heavier… and they want none of it…

  Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing?
  The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, "Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!" Psalm 2 (NASB)

  That’s what we are seeing right now… atheists/Darwinists finally showing us what they are all about. The truth is now evident to all. They have no morality. A lie is the same as truth to them. Stealing is the same as giving to them. Oppression is the same as freedom to them.The poison of secular academia has infected the souls of the people and has reached the halls of power.  They are the reward of the malignant souls of those who have refused God a place in His own universe. They are bringing to us the kind of “hope and change”… (actually “hopelessness and chains”) gleefully offering the best that springs forth from their wicked hearts. They wish to impose their soulish pain that they have thrust upon themselves onto every living soul to torture and control to try to ease the pain of what it means to have rejected God.  The torment that they know has either driven them into complete denial of the truth, into insanity, into self-dissipation, or the depths of dread that only the fallen angels know.

  What is their end? It is said of Christ that…

  You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware. Psalm 2:9 (NASB)

  All for the lack of a simple act of faith that God exists and trusting in Christ’s blood for the forgiveness of their sin. Sometimes the simplest answers are the hardest to accept. Yet when we think of our weariness, it is important to realize that there are worse things. Accepting Christ is the only way for salvation. Do not delay. Rest for your souls awaits.

  Blessings,  Mr. Vee
