READ: Psalm 69:19-21, 29-36
BE NOT FAR FROM ME; FOR TROUBLE IS NEAR; FOR THERE IS NONE TO HELP. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
Psalm 22:11-13
God is looking for someone to deliver people who are in trouble. People need the Lord! All through your years on this earth, you will encounter trouble. People have different reactions to trouble. Some people are destroyed by the trouble that they encounter. Others are so affected that their personality is changed.
Financial trouble, marital trouble, trouble in relationships and trouble at work are all the different types of trouble you can have. God needs someone who will show His people the way to solve problems through the help of God. Jesus is the answer for the world today!
“Lord, I know You need somebody to deliver people from their troubles. Here I am, send me!”
God is looking for somebody to help the broken-hearted. There are many problems in the world. A broken heart occurs when someone’s expectations are dashed. The mental hospital has many ladies sitting on their beds calling out the names of men who promised to marry them. Their hearts are broken and the bitterness of the disappointment has overwhelmed them. A shepherd is somebody who is available to comfort a broken heart.
I was once looking after a woman whose husband had died. I was so affected by the loss of this brother that I drove this new widow around the city, comforting and consoling her. I was desperate because I did not know how to bring her husband back. I also did not know what to say. At a point, my words were finished and I began to depend on the music in the car to console the new widow. God did not expect me to bring the brother back to life. He just expected me to comfort the sister in her loss. God is looking for people who can comfort the broken-hearted.
