The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. It was a cloudy day on the Lincoln Highway in Nebraska when I saw this windmill. I wanted to have a good picture of a windmill as a reminder of our trip but I just couldn’t seem to find one in good shape. You could tell this one was no longer in use and the surrounding fence and gate were old and rusty. I almost didn’t stop. The sky wasn’t the clear blue that I had wanted for my windmill picture, but I stopped anyway. I didn’t even think it was worth getting out the tripod. I was wrong. This image turned out to be one of the best images of our trip to the west.
Sometimes we feel like this broken windmill on a cloudy day. We are crushed and lonely. It is in these times that we can feel the presence God more clearly because we are more aware of our need. Even though we are afflicted the Lord will deliver us. And when we look back we may see that it is in the hardest times that we experience the most growth. Prayer Lord of the Brokenhearted When we are crushed in spirit you have promised to be close to us. Help us to call on you when we face dark days and trust you to make our darkest days times of growth. Amen
