Let God’s Word be the healing balm that soothes your pain and mends your brokenness.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. The other day I was reading through the Psalms while struggling with deep pain in my left hip. It was so hard to focus while reading, but the Holy Spirit truly ministered to me through Psalm 119. Just consider these verses. Psalm 119:50 says, “My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.” And then, later on the psalmist says, “I have suffered much; preserve my life, Oh Lord, according to your word.” And also verse 71 says, “It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.” Oh, what precious jewels from God’s heart—and that’s just scratching the surface! Perhaps you are going through difficult times and need a word of hope and encouragement. If so, open your Bible to Psalm 119, and let God’s Word be the healing balm that soothes your pain and mends your brokenness.
