Psalm 147:3
"He healeth the broken in heart
and bindeth up their wounds"
He healeth the broken in heart. When we read this Scripture we usually think of only the thing that is hurting in our heart's at this moment. Lets look into the broken heart that God heals. The broken heart is one whose heart is affected with the evil of sin, and weeps bitter tears on account of it; one who feels sorrow, shame and anguish, when he looks upon his past sinful life, and his own ingratitude the despite done by him to the striving of the Holy Spirit. His heart is broken when he considers the numberless invitations made to him in the Scriptures, all in which he has wickedly slighted and despised.
His heart is broken at the consideration of the love and compassion of the adorable Redeemer; the humiliation of His death; the devotedness of His life; the reproach, the indignity of His sufferings; and anguish of His death. His heart is broken when his conscience assures him that all this humiliation, this suffering, this death, was for him, who had so deliberately and repeatedly refused the grace which the blood and righteous of Christ has purchased.
It is the sight of Calvary that fills us with anguish of spirit, that overwhelms us with confusion and self abasement. While we contemplate the amazing scene; "we stand, we weep, we pray, we go to our knees, and cry out," "God be merciful to me a sinner"! "O wretched man that I am , who shall deliver me from the body of this death'? The broken heart is one that must seek help from God alone, and will not be comforted till He speaks peace to his soul. Are you broken in heart today? Seek Jesus Christ, believe in Him, ask Christ into your heart today. Amen!!
May God Bless You
