The Strength of Brokeness

“The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.”  (1 Samuel 2:4)

There is an oxymoron throughout the Bible. It says that brokeness is strength. How can this be?  How can brokeness be strength?

In order to use men and women to their fullest extent, there may be times that the Lord has to break His servants so that they might have a new kind of strength that is not human in origin. It is strength in spirit that is born only through brokeness.

Paul was broken on the Damascus road.

Peter was broken after Jesus was taken prisoner.

Jacob was broken at Peniel.

David was broken after his sin with Bathsheba.

The list could go on of those the Lord had to break in different ways before they could be used in the Kingdom.

When we are broken, we see the frailty of human strength and come to grips with the reality that we can do nothing in our own strength. Then, new strength emerges that God uses mightily. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Do not fear brokeness, for it may be the missing ingredient to a life that emerges with a new kind of strength and experience not known before. Pray for a broken and contrite heart that God can bless.

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart – These, O God, You will not despise.” (Psalm 51:17 NKJV)

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayer

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
