Another day ends as the sun majestically sets behind the mountains at the Skyline Drive in Virginia. Watching the sun slowly creep behind the mountain surrounded by vibrant yellows and oranges certainly is an awe inspiring experience.
The day ends and we rest with hope and anticipation of a new day coming. Many carry burdens and struggles and long for a new start tomorrow; one with assurance, peace and hope. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) “Come to me, all 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”.
This gorgeous sunset represents a new opportunity for believers. The issues, heartaches, concerns, and troubles burn away with the descending sun. As the psalmist in Psalm 46:1 (NIV) says: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble”. So many people try to handle this complex life on their own without God. But they struggle. Those who follow Jesus’ command of “Come to me” have a much better chance. Joy, peace and comfort awaits. So lean on Jesus; allow Him to carry your load. As the sun sets tonight, let your troubles go with the sun and know that through Jesus, tomorrow WILL be better.
