Ezekiel 34:16

If You’re Alone, Broken, Sick

01/28/2024

Are you alone? Are you emotionally all over the place? Are you broken? Are you sick? Ezekiel 34:16 tells us that God is in the business of tending to the lost, the scattered, the broken, and the sick. Listen to God’s promise. “I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick.”

Yes, there are times in our lives when we feel like we can’t take one more step or perhaps we can’t get through the day or night. How do we manage in those times? We remember that our Heavenly Father sees us, cares for us, and is with us. We turn to Him. We pray. We read the Bible, and are reminded of His love and guided by His truths.

God didn’t create a scattered, lost, and sick world. He created a world that was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect. All that for which our heart longs we will one day experience in His presence.

If you are struggling, begin keeping a gratitude journal of God’s faithfulness. It will encourage you, gladden your heart, and strengthen you.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for being with us and BINDING UP the many ways we are BROKEN. We love You.

Praise to God who BINDS the BROKEN

01/26/2016

“I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick;”

Ezekiel 34:16 

The word “broken” in Ezekiel 34:16 means “torn to pieces.”* In this passage, God’s heart for His people is seen. He states in verse 11, “I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.” He continues, “As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for my sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scatterd on a cloudy and gloomy day. (v 12) Are you “broken”? Does it seem everything is going wrong? Are you hurt or hurting? Is it a gloomy day? God cares. He loves you more than earthly words can describe. Turn to Him in your brokenness.

Thank You, Lord, for loving us and BINDING us up in our BROKENNESS. We love and praise You.
