Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-16

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

Are you hurting today?

Have you been through something that has left you feeling like the wind has been taken from your sails?

Does it feel like you’ve gotten hit so hard that it has left you reeling, wondering if you can even go on with your life?

First off, know that you’re not alone. There are people who care for you deeply and want to help you. No, they can’t take away the pain and the anguish you might be feeling. But they can love you, encourage you and help you along until you’re able to stand on your own again.

Most importantly, though, God is there for you. God is the chief healer of broken hearts. He created us, so who can know us any better than He does?

He knows our thoughts before we think them and our words before we speak them. No one knows us better than He does, so who is better qualified to help us in our time of need.

Psalm 139:1-4 (NKJV) 1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

So reach out to Him today, right now. Cry out if you need to. Take your pain and your grief and lay it at His feet. Surrender it to Him and let Him give you peace where you’ve only known sorrow and frustration.

We pray healing over your heart, your emotions and your spirit, in the name of Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-15-14

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Friday I spent the day at the courthouse, trying to help someone I care deeply about. This person made a mistake and acted out on their emotions. There was a part of them that truly thought they were doing the right thing, but they went about it in the wrong way.

How many times do we try to do something with good intentions in our hearts and it backfires on us? I spent all day, going from one courtroom to the other. I came home that day feeling awful, disappointed to some degree, and helpless for that person.

I went to bed early that night, but before falling asleep I thanked God, because in spite of how I felt, I knew God was in the midst of it all.

Did it turn out the way I was hoping for? Nope. We don’t always know how things are going to turn out, but as we pray and trust God, He does what is best for the situation and we have to leave it at that and let God’s plan unfold.

If you are feeling disappointed today, things might not have turned out the way you thought they would, and you are trying to figure out what happened and why, take a few minutes and spend some time, just you and God.

Talk it out with Him. He will hold your hand, help you through and bring understanding.

Rest in Him today, in spite of how your circumstances look.
