AdventDay 20

Near to the brokenhearted

Week 3 · Friday · Psalm 34: Taste and See

For today

Those who look to God are radiant, and he is near the brokenhearted. Joy here is not the absence of trouble but the nearness of the Lord in it.

Begin with these verses

verse 4I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. verse 5Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.
Psalm 34:4–5BSB
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Psalm 34:8BSB
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
Psalm 34:18BSB
Read all of Psalm 34Pray it back to Him
