“At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise You, Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and
intelligent and have revealed them to infants.
Yes, Father, for this way was well pleasing in Your sight.
“’All things have been handed over to Me by My Father;
and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father
except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
“’Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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.’” Matthew 11:25-30
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get weary when I
look around this world of confusion, pain, sickness, tragedy, hatred, chaos and
…well, evil. When I feel this way, I
know it is time for Camel’s Knees.
Assignment

aside one hour and go to a place where you will not be interrupted.
