He Is Near
November 6, 2024
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart.
Psalm 34:18
Recommended Reading: Psalm 34:15-18
Pastor Azat Azatyan was captured by Russians while ministering in Ukraine. He was beaten and had electrical cables attached to his body. His tormenters asked him whom he served. He shouted: “A Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” His torturers left him for dead, but Azatyan was able to drink some rainwater and survived. “After torture with electric shock,” he said, “all you want to do is drink. I asked the Lord for water. He gave rain…. I felt God’s presence at that moment.”1
Isn’t it amazing to feel God’s presence in awful moments? When you feel lonely, when you are hurting, when the roof falls in. Remind yourself right now that the Lord is near you. Even when you want to run away from Him, there’s nowhere to run. If we go up to heaven, He is there. If we go to the cemetery, He is there. If we ride the winds across the seas, He is with us (see Psalm 139:1-10).
Remember today what the psalmist said: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me” (Psalm 23:4).
I see God’s presence and His blessing in my life. I am where I need to be.
Pastor Azat Azatyan
