Bee Hive

by Pastor Karen Runjo

Have you been to the museum and seen the living bee-hive? It is so worth a visit! It is made from Perspex so you can see all the ins and outs, the comings and goings. The bees come and go from the street through a Perspex tunnel. The bees returning to the hive are all loaded up – the hairs on their legs are loaded with pollen and they look like little padded-up jockeys.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me all you who are weary and heavy-laden (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”.

We need to make Jesus our hive – the centre and purpose behind all our activity and the person we go to, off load, refresh and go out again from. 

Prayer thought:

Go to Jesus today with your weariness and burdens. Hand them over to him in prayer. Allow His rest to fall upon you, and his strength to fill you and so enable you to go out again and be about the purpose of the ‘hive’.
