Devotional 580-225-3000 CASTING A BROKEN SPIRIT Bigstockphoto S ome of us have had the misfortune to suffer a broken bone; the worst part is the pain, then there is the discomfort and confinement of the solid cast. Keeping the bone immobile allows the bone to heal straight and strong and support the body again. Similarly, God heals a broken spirit. In Jeremiah 23:9, we read, “My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble.” For a spirit to heal, we must stay close to God, not bending to the familiarity of “quick fixes”. Is your spirit fragile or broken? Visit the Great Physician at your house of worship this week. He will strengthen you and set you straight. Daily Bible Reading 2 Cor. 2 Cor.
