Today's Photograph . . . . He Will Be There For You During Difficult and Stressful Times   (MQ)

 
Bible Study Verses
Matthew 11:28-30
"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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (NIV)

Thoughts
One of my favorite lakes in the Wind River Range lies at 8,400 ft and is 2 1/2 mi from the 7,500 ft trail head. The trail is classified as difficult because of the 900 ft rise in 2 1/2 mi; is steep and rocky at times, then levels out in several places. It is impossible to pack in horses to the campsite; everything must be carried on your back. 

Once you arrive at the campsite and remove your pack, you may begin the most rewarding and therapeutic float tube fishing you can imagine. This lake contains three species of fish--rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout. After three days of fishing and rest, you are ready to go back to that stressful schedule.
(Tom L)

Action Point
Just as a pack horse lessens our load, two oxen working together as a team make it easier for both of them. Jesus invites us to work with Him as a team, get into His yoke with Him; but goes on to say that He will shoulder the majority of the load. 

The best way to work as a team with Jesus Christ is to invite Him into your heart. He will be there for you during difficult and stressful times.

Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
When choosing a backpack, go to a trained person at a gear shop and get the backpack fitted to you.
