The Gift of Being Broken
from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
Nobody prays for a scar. We pray for protection, we pray for success, and we pray for comfort. When we experience physical, emotional, or spiritual pain, our automatic reaction is to ask God to take it away immediately. We view our weaknesses as liabilities—obstacles keeping us from living our best lives.But what if your greatest weakness is actually your greatest spiritual asset? What if the very area where you feel most broken is the only place where God's power can finally reside?Today, we are looking at the moment Jacob’s strength was permanently shattered, and why it was the most merciful thing God ever did to him.
