Episode Synopsis

"Welcome to Words To Live By. This is Pastor Warren. Life isn't always easy, and we all face trials that test our faith. But in God's Word, we find promises that steady our hearts and truths that guide our steps."  In this episode we will consider Psalm 147:3 NAS95: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." There is a kind of pain that doesn't show on the outside. It's the ache that settles deep in the heart—the kind that keeps you awake at night or leaves you quiet in a crowded room. Scripture doesn't ignore that kind of pain. God sees it, speaks to it, and steps into it. Psalm 147:3 gives us one of the most tender promises in all of Scripture: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." This Psalm was written for people who knew what it meant to be broken. Israel had returned from exile, a season marked by loss, disappointment, and national grief. They were rebuilding their lives from the ruins. Their hearts were weary, their future uncertain. Into that fragile moment, the psalmist reminds them of who God is—not distant, not dismissive, but a Healer who bends low to mend the wounds no one else sees. .
