Thank you sir for this scripture,it's exactly what my pastor preached about last sunday.
and by the way
One modern translation reads, "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted, he saves those who are crushed in spirit".
What this scripture is highlighting the fact that God is close to us through our most difficult of times. He truly cares about our feelings and troubles. Phillipines 4:7 tells us that when we pray, "the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guards our hearts and our mental powers", so when we are suffering, and feel like our heart is broken and we are hurting inside and out, pray to God for this peace and he will be close to us. He will get us through our hard situations. We hear all too often that God doesn't care what we go through, or even that he CAUSES terrible things to happen, but how could that be the case if he wants to save us from our heartache? We have such a loving creator. In fact, soon suffering and heartache will be a thing of the past completely.
I'm glad that these posts are coordinating with your regular worship. It is very cool when that happens and it allows us to see that God is indeed at work in our lives.
