Today's Scripture *April 9, 2009*
Luke 20:18
Everyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.”
The word "broken" conjures up uniformly negative images : broken bones, broken hearts, broken toys, broken homes. You don't want something you value to be broken. Conversely, in God's dictionary, brokenness is not only good but also essential. He uses only people whose hearts, volition, and pride have been broken. Jesus gives a double warning : those who stumble over that stone--Himself-- "will be broken to pieces", while it will crush anyone it falls on God offers a choice of "brokenness". Those who cast themselves on Jesus, submitting their wills and all that they are on Him, will be broken by Him of arrogance, hard-heartedness, and self-centeredness. It is not a pleasant process but an absolutely necessary one. For those who do not submit to Him, He will ultimately "fall on them", an experience that can only be described as "crushing". The choice is yours : Broken before Him, or crushed by Him..You choose.
O Heavenly Father, we come before You broken.
We want You to reign in our hearts, in our homes, in every aspect of our lives.
You are all we need, Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless
