Brokenness: God’s Power Unleashed

Brokenness: God’s Power Unleashed…

It’s truly amazing to see that thread of brokenness woven throughout scripture, isn’t it? From Gideon’s shattered pitchers revealing the light, to the poured-out ointment anointing Jesus, the broken bread miraculously feeding the multitude, and ultimately, Christ’s broken body bringing redemption, we witness a profound truth: it’s in our brokenness, our surrender, that God’s power shines most brilliantly.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart—These, O God, you will not despise.  Psalm 51:17

Consider those areas in your own life where you’ve held back, where your will has been resistant to the Lord’s touch. Perhaps there’s a place of hardness, a refusal to yield. This passage invites us to a powerful act: to willingly allow our will to be broken for His divine purposes.

When we release our grip, when we surrender our own desires and plans, we become vessels ready to be filled and used by Him in ways we can’t even imagine.

Out of that brokenness can flow the radiant light of His glory, the fragrant anointing of His Spirit, and the transformative power of His redemption, touching not only our own lives but the lives of those around us.

There truly is no limit to what God can accomplish through a life fully surrendered, a vessel willingly broken in His hands.

Heavenly Father, we acknowledge the places within us where our will has been strong, resistant, or simply untouched by Your loving hand. We ask for the courage and the grace to surrender those areas to You now. Break down any walls of pride or self-reliance that hinder Your work in our lives. Help us to embrace a broken and contrite heart, knowing that this is a sacrifice You do not despise. May Your light shine through our cracks, Your anointing flow from our yielded spirits, and Your redemptive power be manifested through our lives. Mold us and use us, Lord, for Your glory. Amen.

It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

May we embrace the process of being broken, trusting that it is in that very place of vulnerability that we become most available to experience and extend the fullness of God’s power and love.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
