Jesus frequently taught His disciples in private. While many of these private conversations have gone unrecorded, Scripture gives us glimpses into their time together. When was the last time you spent time with Jesus, talking about how life is going, the condition of your heart, what He wants you to learn from your failures, how to meet your leadership challenges? Many things fill a leader’s calendar. Is time with Jesus one of them?
“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.”—Matthew 11:28-30
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for inviting us to come to You when we are burdened and weary. May we find rest in You as we learn how to lead from You. In Your name we pray, amen.
