GOD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED.

FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE:

? Psalm 34:18 ?

?"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

HOLY SPIRIT, HAVE YOUR WAY.

Shabbat Shalom friends!

Today's foundation Scripture reminds us of a profound truth: our brokenness doesn't push God away; it draws Him near. In our brokenness, God draws near to us. He heals our wounds, restores shattered dreams, and breathes life into our contrite spirits.

Can you see it?. The Creator of the universe, The Almighty God, chooses to be close to us in our most vulnerable moments. When we feel shattered, when our spirit is crushed, when we can barely lift our heads - that's when He draws nearest.

This verse does not promise us an immediate end to our pain or a quick fix to our problems. Instead, it offers something far more precious: the comforting presence of God Himself. It assures us that in our darkest moments, we are not alone.

The word "close" here implies intimacy and care. It's the closeness of a loving parent comforting a distressed child. God doesn't stand at a distance, observing our pain. He comes close, entering into our suffering with us.

Now, note what the second part of the verse says: He "saves those who are crushed in spirit." This salvation might not always look like we expect. Sometimes it's a gradual healing, a slow restoration of hope. Other times, it's the strength to endure, to keep going even when we feel we can't anymore. Always, it's the assurance that our pain is not the end of our story, restoration is.

Today, if you're feeling brokenhearted or crushed in spirit, let this verse be a balm to your soul. Don't hide your pain or try to face it alone. Instead, open your heart to the God who draws near to you in your brokenness.

If you're not in a place of brokenness right now, remember this verse for the challenging times that will come. And consider: how you can present God's heart to those around you who are hurting.? How can you draw close to the brokenhearted in your know and , offer them this comfort and presence that God offers us. Amen.
