WHEN WE ARE BROKEN

God's breaking process is never intended to destroy us, though in the midst of it we might feel as if we are being destroyed. The Lord wants us to trust Him.

Believers in Christ are not spared the difficulties of this life. The Lord causes the sun to shine and the rain to fall on the just and the unjust alike. Just living in this sin-cursed, evil world has a way of wearing us down.

We must come to realize that God insists on being the Potter and that we be the clay. When we want to be the potter, The Lord has to break us, shape us, and mold us so that He can use us to accomplish His purpose.

Romans 9:20-21  Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour?

When we are broken, we realize that we are nothing but clay pots, that the power comes from God, and the glory goes to God.
