Brokenness Brings Breakthrough; There is a clear pattern in the Bible that teaches us that; Brokenness Brings Breakthrough: - Before Abraham became the father of many nations, he and Sarah were childless. - Before Jacob could be blessed, he was wounded by an angel in a wrestling match. - Before Joseph ruled Egypt, he was thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. - Before Job’s estate was doubled, he lost everything he had, including his family, his fortune, and his future. - Before Moses became the great deliverer, he lost his position, his possessions, and his popularity. - Before Joshua conquered the Promised Land, he went through the wilderness. - Before Samson crushed the Philistines, he was blinded, binded, and grinded. - Before David became king, he was renounced by his family, ridiculed by his foes, and rejected by his friends. - Before Daniel could be used mightily, he had to spend the night in the lion’s den. - Before Hosea became a powerful spokesman for God, his wife betrayed him, which broke him. - Before Peter preached 3,000 souls into the kingdom, he denied his Savior three times and went out and wept bitterly. - Before Paul brought the gospel to the Gentiles, he was blinded on the Damascus road. - I feel tonight that this principle is at work in us. - But sometimes God has to break us so that He can remake us. Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Ps 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. The songwriter expressed the proper attitude we should have during the times when we are broken: Have Thine own way, Lord. Have Thine own way. Thou art the Potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me After thy will. While I am waiting, Yielded and still. -The Potter is able to mend the broken vessel and use it for His own purposes and pleasure! - But if we never find a place of brokenness and submission to His will in our lives, we will never know breakthrough.
