Throughout Mac's process of learning to walk, he enjoyed cruising in his walker. Sometimes he'd walk, sometimes he'd run, and other times he'd just sit. It didn't take him long to figure out that when he grew tired from practicing his new skill, he only had to sit back and relax. There was a nice seat built in for him to take a break.
After observing him a few times, it occurred to me that the Lord is much like a walker. (You can tell my brain is always in baby mode!) You see, we venture out on a journey and before we know it, we're tired. Or maybe we've lost strength or direction. Maybe we're just overwhelmed with life. But Christ tells us all we have to do is sit back and relax. He is our strength. He is the seat in life that will hold us up when we are worn down. He takes our burdens and weights of this world and invites us to just sit back and enjoy the ride. In Matthew 11:28 Christ says, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
