Hello everyone, welcome back.
My name is Elise Brooklyn and this is Scattering Flowers, a podcast where we scatter flowers of faith.
Today is Thursday, July 18th and we will be reading Matthew 11, 28-30.
Follow along in your Bible if you have one.
Now let’s read Matthew 11, 28-30.
Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.
For I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Before I go to sleep at night, I like my pillow to be just perfect because then I can get comfy, cozy, snuggled down in and fall fast asleep.
I love to stay snuggled up in my blankets and have my pillow just so.
Sleep is such an important part of how our bodies function.
If we didn’t get good night’s sleep, we’re usually grumpy, easily irritated, and I know I’m not nicest of persons.
Today’s Bible reading says if we love Jesus and follow Him, He will give our soul rest and comfort.
We can know that we will spend eternity with God in heaven.
So get a good night’s sleep tonight and when you lay your head on your pillow, remember that God provides a total rest in heaven.
Let’s pray.
Dear God, thank you for helping my stress and worry.
Help us to have faith that you will always take care of us and what we need.
In Jesus' name, amen.
In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, amen.
Thank you so much for listening.
I’ll be back tomorrow scattering more flowers.
See ya!
