THE PILGRIMS GUIDE THURSDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2026   PROFITABLE EXCHANGE  A WORD FROM THE WORD: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30, NKJV.  Who doesn't have problems? Who doesn't have challenges, issues, obstacles, barriers or whatever you wish to call it? One thing I have learnt over the years is that the more you try to avoid or dodge challenges, situations, etc, the more they come; these are 'guaranteed appendages.' Problems will not disappear, look around and you will always find your problems are much smaller compared to what's going on around you.   But more importantly, you have an invite from the LORD Jesus to cast your burdens on Him in return for His rest for your soul, honouring this invite helps your mindset to become stronger and the approach is relatively simpler. This motto has always worked. Why not come to the LORD Jesus today and allow Him to relieve you of your troubles?  Go this route today and get out of trouble free, you'll never regret this decision.  PRAYER BULLETS: LORD Jesus, I ask for Your overcoming grace to respond to Your invitation, put my burden on You in exchange for the rest You offer.  FURTHER READING: Job 14:1; Isaiah 41:13; Psalm 34:17; 55:22. _________________________________________ ©️ Amaobi Nwachukwu 2026.
