Bruised reeds and dimly lit wicks Part 1

Bruised reeds and dimly lit wicks, we all fall into one of those categories. In Isaiah 42:3 we find a passage of scripture that is fascinating to me. The beginning part of this chapter deals with the Lord's servant, or Jesus, and how He will comfort hurting and lost humanity. A bruised reed he will not break. In bible days shepherds would take reeds from beside the streams and make musical instruments with them. If one got bent or chipped, they would just throw them away and make a new one. Notice what the word says here, bruised reeds I will not break. God is not going to throw you away just because you may be bruised or hurt in some manner. Life can cause us to feel bruised or hurt, but God is in the business of putting things back together not throwing them away. If there is a hurt in your life or you feel that you have been put on or discarded, give it to Jesus and He can make it all better. He can smooth out the hurts and pains of life.
