“BLESSED is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down where the scornful gather. But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law. He habitually meditates by day and by night. And he shall be like a tree firmly planted by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper .” Psalm 1:1-3 Amplified Bible
I believe it is safe to say that most of us have experienced a wounded heart at some time in our life. It is often at those times of hurt that we find it difficult to know where to turn. Sometimes we look outwardly to our friends and loved ones as well as others who contend to know the answers to our hurt, but it seems real comfort is illusive. Sometimes, we look inwardly, we search our soul looking for the answer, but find only more pain and confusion there. So, where can we go to soothe our soul?
Let me say to you that it is no coincidence that your search has brought you to this place of devotion. It is not in looking out or in,…but in looking up to God that you will find what you are seeking. God promises you blessing when you habitually read, meditate on, and embrace His Word. God promises that you will be filled with love, joy, purpose, and peace. And, isn’t that what your heart has been aching for, after all?
God, I need You. Thank you for revealing Yourself to me through the Psalms, and through all of Your Word. Thank you for healing my heart. It is only You who can truly bless me.
