The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
July 18, 2025
Psalm 34 was written by David during one of the darkest times in his life—on the run, isolated, and deeply wounded. In this verse, he shares something deeply personal and universally true: when our hearts are shattered, God draws closer, not farther away. He doesn’t shame the broken—He rescues them.
For men who’ve taken emotional hits—loss, betrayal, failure, or silent suffering—this truth is a refuge. When your spirit is crushed and the world says to “toughen up,” God says, “I’m right here.” His presence is not earned by strength—it rushes in during your weakness.
So if today hurts, don’t hide. Let God meet you in the pain. He’s not afraid of your tears, your doubt, or your silence. He’s close—and He saves.
