“The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.”  Ps 51:17 NLT

Brokenness produces character

When we submit to God’s dealings in our lives, He empowers us to reach our full potential by gently breaking areas of our stubborn will that need to be submitted to Him. As these areas are broken, His power within us is released and things begin to change for the better. Power and talent without character and direction, have destroyed many a man and woman. You probably know some of them. So be warned; unless your talent is governed by character, you’re headed for trouble. A horse may come from a line of blue ribbon champions, but until its will has been broken, its power is a danger to itself and those around it. You’ll notice two important things about a thoroughbred champion horse: (1) It hears many voices during the race but it has learned to respond to only one—the voice of its rider. And that’s God’s plan for you. You’ll get a lot of opinions, but to win in life you must be led only by God—and that calls for humility. “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way” (Ps 25:9 NIV). (2) Its power is realized and its full potential released only when it can be harnessed and directed. So, is God breaking you in similar fashion? Is He putting His harness on you and saying, “You can’t live like that anymore, or do your own thing, because I have plans for you”? The word for you today is: “You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God” (1Co 6:19-20 NLT).
