A Promise for the Crushed in Spirit

 

I have been sick from work the past two days, but I am comforted by God’s promises in His word.  Are you brokenhearted today, or is your spirit crushed?  Well, this promise is for you too:

 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
   he delivers them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
   and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:17-18 (New International Version, ©2011)

Don’t Fear

“The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalms 27:1, NIV).
Are you about to venture into something new or risky?  Maybe you are starting a new program at school, starting a new job, entering into a new relationship, or just waiting for God to tell you what is next in your life?  Fear is unavoidable, because as humans we often fear “the unknown.”  I am starting something new and exciting, but scary all at once.  Risk is scary!  I am writing a book!  Today I am reassured in God’s word that, “The Lord is my light and my salvation,” I have NOTHING to fear!  

Run The Race

 

“Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. .. To the weak, I became weak, to win the weak.  I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.  I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.  Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?  Run in such a way as to get the prize” (1 Corinthians 9:19-24).

My prayer today is that God speaks to your heart as He did to mine, through this scripture.  Let us reflect on our last 48 hours.  What race are we running?  The rat race of everyday life, or the race that will lead us to win others to Christ, the ultimate prize of a golden crown, and eternal life?
