ARE WE UNEQUALLY YOKED

Matthew 11:29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

The Word tells us to cast all our cares on Christ.  We can give our life's luggage to Him and let Him carry it for us.  Jesus teachings provide an easy yoke in contrast to the heavy, suppressive yoke this world puts on us.   When we are unequally yoked with the people around us we bring burdens on ourselves.  When two people are not on the same page, it causes confusion and strife. 

Father, thank You for putting on the crosspiece that bring us together and evenly yoked.  Lord, continue helping us carry our burdens, so we will not become weary.  Lord, help us not to be unequally yoked in our relationship with You, strengthen our pray live and give us a burning sense for the things of the Spirit. So, help us wait for someone with whom we share the same spiritual beliefs and values, so we will have rest.  Father, help us be submissive to Your Word, let Your Son be the biggest influence in our lives and relationships, so we can become more like Him.  Lord, You have warned us to avoid those who are foolish and wicked, because of their ability to lead us away from You and into harm.  Father, we understand that those who are unequally yoked with us can be bad company that will ruin our character and good morals.  So, Lord, surround us with those who will encourage us toward righteousness, the Spiritual Soldiers that walk in Your way, in Jesus name, Amen
