Good and Near and Broken

The nearness of God is my good. Psalm 73:28

God is near to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18

A broken and contrite heart, He will not despise. Psalm 51:17

A broken heart is good.

This train of thought plays out in my mind daily it seems.  When my thoughts are wracked with disappointment that life hasn't turned out the way I wanted or planned for it to go, as I am driven to my knees desperate to hear the voice and sense the presence and maybe, just maybe, catch a glimpse of the hand of God over my circumstances, then I know.

The one who comes to Him must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. Hebrews 11:6

"I am your very great Reward." Genesis 15:1

God's economy.  It's not mine.  He doesn't measure time or good or reward as I would.  He knows better.  He knows best.  There will be blessing, but I am reminded today that sometimes blessing is brokenness.
