Max Lucado Devotional 8 August 2024: An Invitation to the Weary
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 8TH AUGUST 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
Topic: An Invitation to the Weary
I recall an afternoon early in my ministry when the invitation of Jesus to the weary became the invitation of Jesus to Max. I was supposed to be studying. But I could not concentrate. I thought I had to fix everyone’s problems, shoulder everyone’s burdens, and never grow weary in doing so. After some moments I bowed my head and sighed, and this scripture came to mind: “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
It was the pronoun me that got me. I had been turning to everyone and everything but him. Why did that verse come to mind?Simple – the Holy Spirit, my teacher, reminded me. The Spirit of Christ will do this for you, my friend.
