Brokenness Precedes Victory

2024-08-11

I want the misery of sin and flesh to end. I know our death with Christ is key to this. This feeling of brokenness must be both good and beneficial. But it is wearying. It was 40 years of Midian before seeing the power of God. It was years as a slave and in a dungeon before being used by the king of Egypt. It was 40 years in the wilderness before Canaan. Yet in all these, there was more breaking and death that followed. This life is all about dying. Jesus set face like a flint towards Jerusalem, where the cross was. Likewise by faith I set my face like a flint toward His cross to realize my death with Him.
