Day 362 - (Today’s Bible readings: Judges 8:22-35; Psalm 147; Acts 13:48-14:7)
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3 ESV)
Today is the Fourth Day of Christmas, Four Calling Birds (The Four Gospels... Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Today’s verse from Psalm 147 reminds of why we can celebrate the account of Christ’s birth every day.
Jesus came to be our Savior from sin, talk about healing the brokenhearted! His ultimate mission was to bind up and completely heal our spiritual wounds, making us fit for heaven.
He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.
(“Hark the glad sound,” Lutheran Service Book #349)
Lord, thank You for healing my sin-broken heart with Your forgiveness, presence and peace. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
