The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,

And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

But the Lord delivers him out of all.

You can almost picture someone standing alone and afraid. Or maybe it is even you at this moment. God sent this scripture to remind us He is with us in times of trouble. We need to tell ourselves we have a big God, especially when are trials loom large. Jesus comforts the brokenhearted and saves us from a contrite (remorseful) spirit. Trouble is sent to keep us down not going forward with God. If you thought you had no way out your hope would disappear. Remind yourself during the afflictions that “the Lord delivers him out of all.” Not some…ALL.
