The Lord is near
to the brokenhearted
and saves
the crushed in spirit.
Many
are the afflictions
of the righteous,
but
the Lord delivers him
out of them all.
He keeps
all his bones;
not one of them
is broken.
Psalms 34:18-20 ESV
This Psalm, this song, is at a whole new level now.
Who's bones were not broken?
This takes us forward hundreds of years to Jesus crucifiction.
Jesus bones were not broken (routinely a crucified persons legs were broken)
Many were his afflictions.
Even though he was the only truly righteous one
He was crushed in spirit
His heart was broken

Sorrow and Love
Flow mingled down

For me.

In the heart damage
In the crushedness
Love delivered Him
But He was still crushed
His heart broken
And He still bears the scars
He knows
He knows Love and Sorrow
And in those scars is the promise,
the hope,
that one day,
all that is broken
will be unbroken
All that is crushed
will be uncrushed
God is near

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
