Psalm chapter 119 verse 28

my soul melts away for sorrow

strengthen me according to your word. Wow. What a verse describing the

depth of sorrow that we sometimes experience in this world. My soul melts away for sorrow. Have you ever felt like that?

Like your soul is melting away. It's just so overwhelmed by sorrow. I'm guessing some people

listening right now are there at this moment. I just in despair or depression of some kind or just overwhelmed

with sadness over something or weary and hurting in any way.

So hear the Psalmist say, as his soul is melting away.

He says, strengthen me of God according to your word.

So see the picture when we are overwhelmed with sorrow God's word is our source of strength.

When you are weak and weary from the sorrows and cares and burdens of this world. You need God's word. I need God's word.

And think about all the things that God's word does in the middle of sorrow.

It comforts us, it delivers us from lies that we are prone to believe when we were walking through sorrow, lies that

God is not with us, lies that God is not for us, it defends us against attacks from the adversary as we're walking

through sorrow. It serves us, it supports us, it helps us, it guides us through sorrow. We need God's

word at every moment in our lives and especially in the middle of sorrow. So I just

want to pray for this kind of supernatural strength

flowing from God's word for anyone who's walking through sorrow right now at any level and for all of us as we will

all walk through sorrow in this fallen world that we would find our strength in the middle of souls melting

away in God's word to us. Oh God, we praise you for not leaving us alone when our souls are

melting away for sorrow. Think about a conversation I just had with a brother whose soul was melting away.
