Psalm 34:15-22 and 2 Corinthians 4:7-10


 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.


 Mephibosheth did not choose to be crippled. He was dropped by someone else's fear during someone else's panic in the middle of someone else's bad decision. Yet he carried the wound the rest of his life. Many of the deepest wounds people carry were not caused by their own choices. Circumstances, the failures of others, and the cruelty of a broken world leave marks that are real and lasting. But the Scripture reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted and that He saves those who are crushed in spirit. Being broken is not your identity. It is the condition from which God most powerfully demonstrates His grace. Brokenness can lead to blessed when you listen and respond to the right voice! King David called Mephibosheth out of brokenness to a blessed life…… NOW yours awaits you! The Lord is calling… you don’t have to stay broken!

You do not have to stay broken….. come out and live!! You are loved and you have been prayed for! Trent
