Good morning, and welcome to starting right with Danny Mac. I'm gonna be here five times a week to help you get a great five minutes. Start to your day. I'm gonna give you some encouragement in some hole from God's word. Because I really want you to know that you matter, that you are important and you have a purpose. So I invited to subscribe to this podcast and join me here Money to Friday to help your day by starting right with Danny Mac. Many of you will be familiar with the name darling Check. She was the worship leader at Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia. For many years, she's written a book called Extravagant Worship. And in it, she tells is very powerful story. It was while they were getting ready for a tour in the United States, and Darlene and her husband went to see the doctor for a check up on her 12 week pregnancy. Tragically, this baby had died in the womb. He writes this in her book Shattered brokenhearted. All those things you can think of do not even come close to describing the agony of that moment. We had taken separate cars to the doctor. So I had to drive back to the house by myself. With Mark following me. I got in the car and I just didn't know what to think or do. I can't really describe the depth of sadness I was feeling on the way home. I heard the Holy Spirit whisper sing. In that moment, it was the absolute last thing I wanted to do. So after years of learning, it is much better to obey quickly. I started to sing, my head didn't sing and I don't even know if my heart saying but my soul saying it was almost involuntary. I sang two songs. By the time I got home, something had happened in the spiritual realm. I had spoken many times on the power of worship and worshipping through a trial. Never had I experienced the power of God coming so sovereign Lee and fulfilling his word where it says he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds through being in the sweet presence of our glorious savior. I was well on the way to complete healing and personal victory. We are all going to experience problems in our lives, some very severe in the Book of James that tells us very clearly that we're going to have trials and tribulations. They're going to come. We're gonna find times when we are so desperate to try and find an answer when we are hurting so badly and so deeply that we don't know where else to turn or what else to do when we face those trials and the tribulations, those problems that are gonna come into all of our lives. That's not a statement about how good a Christian we are. It's got nothing to do with that. So we're all gonna have those times. We're going to be hurting deeply, and we don't know the answers. It's at those times that God comes very clearly and distinctly administers to us and gives us his grace. And that is where we see what that verse that Darlene was talking about. In some 147 verse three he comes and he heals the broken hearted and he binds up their wounds in those times when we are hurting the most. Those are the times when God comes and surrounds us even more so, and he comforts us and he loves us, and he helps us. It's never a question of if you will go through times of extreme pain like that. It's a matter of win, so know that God is always with you and do what Darlene did. She listened to what God said and she obeyed. And for her, the release came when she started to worship in that worship of God for her brought peace and strength into her. That was completely supernatural. It couldn't have come any other way. Look to God for your answers. Let his strength be there for you. Even in the worst of your times, God loves you. He's with you. Thank you for joining us today.
