"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite."
Psalms 147:3-5
I like this because it seems like the part about the stars is there to convince us that he can heal us. :) It's kind of like in the New Testament where Christ asks which is easier, "to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?" (Luke 5:23, Matthew 9:5, Mark 2:9). He shows that he can forgive sins by doing something easier... healing someone physically. :) Here, we learn that God knows how many stars there are and knows them all by name. That's super impressive... but MORE impressive, and harder for us to believe sometimes, he can heal our broken hearts.
Today, let's remember that the Lord is great, and his understanding is infinite. He can count and name all the stars... and most importantly, he can heal us. So let's trust that, and go to him, and learn how. :)
