Day 5: Tilling Again
Reading: Genesis 3:17-19; Matthew 11:28-30


In Genesis 3:17-19, God tells Adam that because he abandoned his alignment and heeded a voice outside of God's order, his labor would shift from tilling to toiling. Tilling was grace-empowered management. Toiling was painful, laborious striving outside of that grace. Many believers are toiling today in their assignments, their relationships, and their daily lives because they are partnered with the wrong things and disconnected from the right ones. In Matthew 11, Jesus extends an invitation to those who are heavy-laden and laboring under that toil. His yoke is easy because it is a yoke of right alignment. When you come back into proper connection with God and the people he has assigned to your life, grace is restored and the assignment becomes fruitful again.
