In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in god I trust; I shall not be afraid." PSALM 56: 8-11 God Is Aware Of Every Tear You Cry.

The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: “I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts. Isaiah 57:15 NLT God is with the brokenhearted, and God can be brokenhearted at our rejection of him. There is nothing we experience that God has not endured in God’s human life as Jesus.

How did you feel the last time a coffee mug slipped from your hands and shattered on your kitchen floor? I’m betting at the very least it was probably some combination of surprise and annoyance. If it was an heirloom or an otherwise sentimental piece, you may have even felt extremely guilty and disappointed as you swept up the shards.

In Japan, instead of tossing these pieces in the trash, some craftsmen practice the 500-year-old art of kintsugi, or “golden joinery,” which is a method of restoring a broken piece with a lacquer that is mixed with gold, silver, or platinum.

From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2 (NKJV)

If you need answers from God is more likely that you get them at God’s house than anywhere else. Romans 12:1 commands us to present our bodies as living sacrifices to God.We do not come together for Sunday worship service to experience an emotional response that brings joy to us as consumers, though many Westerners gather for this very reason.

The priest of the old Testament could use the urim and thummin to determine God’s will in a particular situation. We are not exactly sure what the urim and thummin were, but the priest carried in his breastplate perhaps two sticks or stones, one white and the other black, that would give a yes or no answer to a specific question. I believe God wants to speak and the way he does it may slightly change but we should use the principle of asking God simple yes and no questions and leave the big picture to Him

How can I know when God is telling me to do something? Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him… - Psalm 37:7 The primary way God commands us is through His Word.  We also have the Holy Spirit to discern what is, or is not, God’s will for our lives.

2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Israel was in a dark and desperate place. They had fallen from grace and lost their way. They had actually chosen to go their way and do their own thing apart from God. They thought they knew better so they did their own thing.
