Broken and Smoking
"A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench"
(Isaiah 42:3).
(Isaiah 42:3).
Then I may reckon upon tender treatment from my LORD.
Indeed, I feel myself to be at best as weak, as pliant, as worthless as a reed. Someone said, "I don't care a rush for you"; and the speech, though unkind, was not untrue.
Alas! I am worse than a reed when it grows by the river, for that at least can hold up its head.
I am bruised -- sorely, sadly bruised.
There is no music in me now; there is a rift which lets out all the melody.
Ah, me! Yet Jesus will not break me; and if He will not, then I mind little what others try to do.
O sweet and compassionate LORD, I nestle down beneath Thy protection and forget my bruises! Truly I am also fit to be likened to "the smoking flax," whose light is gone, and only its smoke remains.
I fear I am rather a nuisance than a benefit.
My fears tell me that the devil has blown out my light and left me an obnoxious smoke, and that my LORD will soon put an extinguisher upon one.
Yet I perceive that though there were snuffers under the law, there were no extinguishers, and Jesus will not quench me; therefore, I am hopeful.
LORD, kindle me anew and cause me to shine forth to Thy glory and to the extolling of Thy tenderness.

Father, I ask You to bless my friends,
Show them a new revelation of Your love and power.
Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is a pain, give them Your peace and mercy.

Your grace.

Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings, and their comings.
