Life is often messy and hard. It sometimes reminds me of the song Broken Vessels, that starts out “All these pieces, broken and scattered…” Sometimes we feel like the Psalmist who cried out: “To you I call, O Lord my rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.” Ps. 28:1
But the song goes on: “In mercy gathered, mended and whole.” The key? Do what the Psalmist did, cry out to the Lord our Rock. No matter how big the mess is or how small the scattered pieces are, He not only wants to fix it, He is more than able to fix it.
It really is that simple: sincerely cry out to Jesus and expect Him to fix it! And as you see His amazing work unfold in your life, you will be able to declare with the Psalmist: “Weeping may remain for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning… You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. Oh Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.” Ps. 30:5b, 11, 12
Don’t sink in your brokenness; give Jesus the pieces, He is the master mosaic artist!
