Have you ever had your heart broken? If not, you are the rarest of people. I bet all of us have had a time in our lives and probably more than once when we experienced some loss in our lives. It might have been someone who was a part of our world who died. It could have been a romantic love…that just walked away. It could have been a disappointment of something we hoped for and finally got…and it just wasn’t what we dreamed it would be. In this world we are all going to experience loss in some way. Jesus even promised us that we would have troubles in this world. Why? Because the world and all of us people are broken because of sin. And because of that brokenness, we experience grief. So what do you do when you grieve? You go to the one who can heal any hurt and can change any circumstance. That is God himself. He wants you to pour out your heart to him and to call on him for help. Why? Because that is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our faith to him. The Psalms tell us that the Lord hears his people when they call for help. And that he will rescue us from our troubles. But the next line is the one I like best. It says that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. We are called to trust God in so many ways and in so many times. When your heart is broken, when you are burdened with grief…go to God and in prayer call to him for help. The promise is that God is close to the brokenhearted and he will rescue those whose spirits have been crushed. And no matter how many times we face troubles, disappointments or grief…the Bible tells us that the Lord comes to the rescue each time. So, if you are hurting today…my heart breaks with yours. But I can’t really know how you feel or what you need. But God does…so when the pain comes…go straight to God…and let him do the work he promised to do on your behalf. Here’s our Bible verse for today…
Psalms 34:17-19 NLT The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (18) The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (19) The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time.
Remember I’m praying for you!
