When You Don’t Know What Else to Do
Where do you go when you don’t know where else to go? What do you do when you don’t know what else to do?
With the resurgence of increased COVID cases, rising unemployment rates, and heightened racial tensions, we are all searching for answers and looking for guidance.
For the weary, the confused, and those who are starting to feel hopeless, I offer these words from Jesus.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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. (Matthew 11:28-29, NIV)
As tired as we may be of being told to stay home and wear a mask if we go out, Jesus is not tired of hearing from us and continues to welcome us into His presence where we can rest.
As difficult as it is to know who is right or wrong and who, if anyone, has the answers, we know that Jesus is truth, all-knowing will always be here to comfort and guide us.
As exhausting as it is to listen to one more negative news report, hear about one more death, or be told one more time that we should be afraid of the air we breathe, we know Jesus is not exhausted. He is our place of rest, comfort, and hope.
Are you tired of caring for the sick?
Are you burdened by the demands of your life?
Are you looking for comfort and peace?
Are you hurting and lonely and feel isolated?
Jesus says, “Come to me.”
When you don’t know what else to do, turn to Jesus. He will be waiting with open arms, reminding you to “Come to me.”
