Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul — (Matthew 11:29 NKJV)
How would Jesus do it if He were in your shoes? What would He say? What would He do when faced with the most difficult situation? Would the Master act in the way you have chosen? Would He react as you do? Would Jesus worry about circumstances the way you find yourself worrying over everything?
Jesus said, “Learn from me.” This means He wants us to embrace His ways—His faith, His character, and His approach to life. If we truly learn from the Master and respond to situations as He would, we will also experience the results He achieved. In several passages of the Bible, we see Jesus respond to challenges with authority. He demonstrated His power and control over every situation to show the world that He is indeed the Son of God.
For example, while on a boat with His disciples, the Bible records that a boisterous wind arose, water began entering the boat, and it threatened to sink. Yet Jesus was not bothered; He continued to sleep. His reaction stood in stark contrast to that of His disciples, who immediately reacted in fear.
Many Christians tend to react quickly and with worry when confronted by difficult circumstances. However, by learning from Jesus—adopting His faith, hopes, and beliefs—we can respond with His authority. Responding as our Lord would not only brings about the outcomes He promised but also equips us to master every circumstance. It transforms us from being victims into being victorious representatives of the Lord. The Master is ready to teach you how to respond like Him; all you need to do is observe His ways and adopt them.
So, start now. Take charge of the circumstances of your life, knowing that when you react as Jesus would, you gain victory over every situation. Amen!
