"Unmatched" -Too

"I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD." (Psalms 116:13)

 You know, it has been said that what killed Jesus on the cross, was a broken heart. The other two men that were hanging with Him died of suffocation; but Jesus was already dead when they went to break His legs; and the fluid that came out of Him when they stabbed His side was water mixed with blood. So those that have analyzed what that represents have said it shows that He died of a ruptured heart. That makes the statement, "Break my heart for what breaks Yours," speak volume into what it is all about, and how being separated from the Father is the worst thing that can happen to anyone, especially the Son! As for the second part of this verse, there is something to think about when it comes to calling upon the name of the LORD, especially when have have a broken heart. My heart breaks more times than I care to mention; but each time it happens, I can feel God's hand touching me upon my shoulder, assuring me and letting me know it will all be okay. There is no way I can actually explain what that does for me, except to say that it turns my sadness into gladness, almost instantly. Regardless of what it is that you are going through, no matter the pain or the degree of suffering, when you call upon the name of the LORD, your circumstance changes. You go from being focused upon where you are at or what is going on in your life, and you put your focus upon God and all of His glory, majesty, honor, and love. When that happens in your heart, there is really only one thing that matters, your salvation...

"In that day you will sing: "I will praise you, O LORD! You were angry with me, but not any more. Now you comfort me. See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory." With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation! In that wonderful day you will sing: "Thank you LORD! Praise his name! Tell the nations what he has done. Let them know how mighty he is! Sing to the LORD, for he has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. Let all the people of Jerusalem shout with joy! For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you."" (Isaiah 12) NLT
