My Heart Cries Out: A 6-Day Devotional With Paul David Tripp

DAY 2 OF 6

Broken Down House

Shards of window glass 

shimmer 

in weed-strewn sod. 

Roof shingles 

clap 

with the wind, 

a spontaneous ovation 

for 

the dwelling 

that once was. 

With creaking voices, 

dark halls 

repeat 

long-gone conversations. 

Too much 

decay, 

too much 

damage; 

violent elements 

have disrespected 

the carpenter’s 

dream. 

The sagging-porch frown 

tells a painful story 

of beauty shattered. 

All that’s left 

is a 

broken-down house.

To Consider:

• When you see the evidence of sin’s curse in the world, what is your response? 

• Do you complain about the world or cry out to God? Do you long more for short-term fixes or eternal paradise?
