Heals the Brokenhearted?

Heals the Brokenhearted?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God heals the heartbroken and binds up their wounds. In Jesus’ name, amen.

For all the despairing and despondent people who feel crushed by life’s circumstances, God is able to provide healing.

Psalm 147:1-6 (ESV) praises God and gives reasons he is praiseworthy including his healing power.

“Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
The Lord lifts up the humble;
he casts the wicked to the ground.”

The God who determines the number of the stars is able to heal the brokenhearted. Remain humble. Praise God. Trust him if you are hurting. Ask him to bind up your wounds.

Kings Will Bear Gifts?

Kings Will Bear Gifts?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know kings will bear gifts to you. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The story of God’s power goes back to the time of creation.

David, the psalmist, in Psalm 68:28-29 (ESV) appeals God to use his power. Moreover, David knows the Temple at Jerusalem provides a testimony to the greatness of the God of Israel, so much so, kings will bear gifts.

“Summon your power, O God,
the power, O God, by which you have worked for us.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings shall bear gifts to you.”

Today, God has power. A person can be reborn a new creation. (See the story of Nicodemus in John 3:1-5). If you are king or not, will you bear gifts to God?

Bless God?

Bless God?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who will bless you as long as they live. In Jesus’ name, amen.

David, the psalmist, reports that he seeks God. The psalm reveals he does more than that. He thirsts for God. He has seen God’s power and glory.

Psalm 63:1-4 expresses the awe David has for God. God’s love is better than life.

“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.”

David’s lips will praise, and he will lift his hands. Wherever you are. Stop for a moment, and praise God with your lips and lift your hands to him.
