“My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.” - Psalms 119v28
“My soul melts for heaviness.” What a wonderful word picture of what it is like to be discouraged and depressed. Financial woes, family pressures, death or illness of loved ones, betrayal by friends, illnesses, and loss of a job are just some of things that can cause our souls to “melt for heaviness.”
We have no need of having “melting hearts.” God, as He always does, provides a way out. He provides all the strength that we need. Where do we find that strength? Once again the psalmist points us back to the same source. We find the strength we need for everyday living in His perfect holy word.
Whenever we are burdened down with grief and heaviness may our first action be to go to God’s word for the strength to get through the struggle.
