“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.” - Psalm 147:3-4 (ESV)
This is a wonderful reminder of how God is involved in our lives
as His children. This psalm speaks of His response. He knows how to give us the
help we need and to bring healing – to restore our spiritual health. The context of these verses is the return of
the Children of Israel to Jerusalem after 70 years in captivity. These words of
praise are about how God cares for his own and about his knowledge as Creator
God. God has given all the stars their names – not the names we use but the
names given when He created each one. It is beyond our comprehension but He
knows how many stars there are, something we’ll never know. Our verse mentions
the wounds we suffer at times. They might be small wounds or large wounds. No
matter the causes, God knows just how to bring healing. And our verse also mentions hearts that are
broken. Our wounds might be more serious hurts but God can take care of them
too and bring complete healing. So whether our hurts today are large or small,
let's allow God to do the healing promised and we know He can do.
