BURDENS

FOUR WAYS TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS

2. FRIGHT – we are afraid of the problem
3. FLIGHT – option to leave
4. FAITH – face the problem with the grace of God

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to me, all who labor and areheavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learnfrom me, for I am gentle and lowly inheart, and you will find rest for yoursouls.30 For my yoke is easy, and my burdenis light."

• God is teaching us to give Him our human burdens and take His burden
• Isaiah 40:31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
God wants to share the burden by USING THE YOKE
![Page 10: JAMES 14 - FEELING BURDENED, BEING BLESSED - PTR. ALAN ESPORAS - 10AM MORNING SERVICE](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030312/58ee15911a28ab335d8b45f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Yoke” Principle
• Two animals carrying the weight of the cart is much more easy than one animal carrying the load alone.
• The Trainer and the Trainee

Example :
• a good parent teaches a child to learn to “carry burdens” like doing Homeworks and not totally rely on parents to do the task but only supervise.
