There has been a lot of talk in recent times about bullies. A bully is someone who picks on those weaker than themselves. Often, the painful part is that the bully knows the weakest part and begins the attack there. We can all probably agree that we have a built-in bully deep inside of us: our old sin nature.

We have tender spots that the bully jumps on with both feet. But God has the last word. And he comforts us with Good News. "Here is my Servant whom I have chosen. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not put out" (Isaiah 42:3). If you are bruised and you feel that your light is about to go out, turn to Jesus, God’s Servant.  He will put you on the mend and silence the bully.
