MFM Daily Devotional 13 September 2024 MESSAGE

Joy had been raped at a young age and she carried the burden all around. The burden caused her agonizing pain in her heart. This made her look older than her age and unapproachable.

Just like joy, at some point in the journey of life and destiny, we might experience moments of pain and anguish, moments when our hearts are heavy with loads of grief, distress and sadness.

In the midst of all these, we should always be aware that God is with us. He does not abandon us with our wounds; rather, He steps into our lives, heals our broken hearts and binds up our wounds.

Beloved, the Lord cares so much about you. That you go through a dark phase doesn’t mean you are forgotten. Are you presently in the darkest moment of your life? Do you carry the burden of pain in your heart?

READ MFM Daily Devotional 12 September 2024 – Divine Intervention

The Bible in the book of Matthew 11:28 says: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Allow Jesus to heal your wounds. Pour out your heart to Him. He wants you to trust and cast your burden upon Him and He would surely grant you the grace you need to scale through this phase victoriously!

Joy encountered this kind of word and she invited Jesus, the Balm of Gilead, into her life. She encountered Christ genuinely and was healed.

People bear pain and agony for many reasons:

  1. Bereavement or the loss of a loved one. This was what David experienced when Saul and Jonathan died.
  2. Failed courtship or being jilted by a partner during courtship
  3. Separation or divorce
  4. The pain of a terminal illness like cancer
  5. The attack and agony of an incurable disease like sickle cell anemia
  6. Financial lack and indebtedness
  7. Sudden loss of one’s valuables to accident, shipwreck, fire mishap, and so on.

This was what Job suffered. In the face of his trial, he said, “Though He slays me, I will yet praise Him” (Job 13:15). Let that be your attitude too!

Beloved, Jesus still bears balm for the wounded and still heals those who come to Him.
