The LORD is Close to the Brokenhearted (Psalm 34 - Part 2 of 2)

Today's full One Year Bible readings:
Exodus 37:1-38:31 ~ Matthew 28:1-20 ~ Psalm 34:11-22 ~ Proverbs 9:9-10

Psalm 34:11-22 continues to drive home the point that God is eternally faithful. He loves us. And, through Christ, He sympathizes with us in our pain and sufferings. The psalmist reminds us this way...

18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18

Today, as an act of worship, be satisfied with knowing that God is near to us at all times, especially to when we are brokenhearted. That being the case, use this truth to encourage those who are hurting to turn to Christ. He is near.

"God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us."
- Acts 17:27
