Psalm 147: 1,3, &11

1Praise ye Jehovah;
For it is good to sing praises unto our God;
For it is pleasant, [and] praise is comely.

3He healeth the broken in heart,
And bindeth up their wounds.

11Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
In those that hope in his loving kindness.

It is wonderful to know that God heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. So often we loose site of Him when the circumstance of our life bring sorrow, pain and question to our minds. But, it is His pleasure to to care for those who hope in His loving kindness. How good and gracious He is. Focus on Him in your adversity and He will comfort you.

Psalms 18:1-3

"1"I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

2Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

3I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:
So shall I be saved from mine enemies"

What wonderful hope we have knowing that the God who created the universe is our fortress and a place in which we can take refuge. He alone is our salvation our place of safety. I will not forget to praise Him for he is worthy.

Psalms 34:1-4 &7-10

" I will bless THE LORD GOD at all times; HIS praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in THE LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify THE LORD with me and let us exalt HIS Name together. I sought THE LORD and HE heard me and delivered me from all my fears. . . the Angel of THE LORD encampeth round about them that fear HIM and deliverreth them. O fear THE LORD ye HIS saints, for there is no want to them that fear HIM. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger but they that seek THE LORD shall not want any good thing. "

Psalm 18:6

"In my distress I called upon the Lord, and I cried unto my God; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him even into His ears."


God hears you when you call to Him in you time of distress and touble and He will comfort you.

Psalm 16.8

"I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."

It is encouraging to know that I do not have to fear what I may face today because the Lord has promised to be with me even at my right hand. I have found a site with devotions for encouragement it is: http://www.simpledevotions.org/2009/01/12/everything-you-need.html I hope you find it helpful.
