The second means to transform my soul is yoke myself to Christ.
Yoke Yourself to Christ
Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)
Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."
A yoke is a wooden harness that is used in agriculture to put two oxen together so they can work together pulling a load or plowing a field. The system works best when you take an experienced older ox and yoke him to an inexperienced younger. The younger ox learns to follow the lead of the older and the older teaches to share the load. After a while, the oxen work together as one.
Jesus invites me to yoke to him. In this way he can teach me to live my life as he would live it if he were me and he actually guides me as I am yoked to his lead. I am no longer working on my strength, but his; my direction, but his. In this way I am able to succeed in the way he desires for me in every area of transformation.
