Preparing for Power Part 1

DAY 3 OF 5

Submit to the Teachings of Brokenness

As Elijah listened to the Lord, he was commanded to go to a remote place, Cherith. God asked him to give up control of everything and submit to God’s plan. And Elijah had a choice at this moment- to either obey or to disobey. He could gladly follow God’s plan or rebel against Him and miss out on the amazing power God was going to display through him. Our brokenness is often a space God uses to prepare us and show us His power. Paul also experienced this through the “thorn in his flesh,” which God used to teach him that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness and brokenness. When God asks us to do something where we have to depend totally on Him, usually our gut instinct is a resounding no! If we face a difficult circumstance, we grumble and complain instead of allowing God to work through that difficulty. Consider this- the Lord wants to display His power and greatness to us, in us, and through us. But first, we must submit to Him.

Ask Yourself: What area of brokenness in your life might God be asking you to submit to him?

Pause to Pray: God, help me to submit to you in_______. I believe You are greater than ...

Take a Next Step: Tell a trusted friend or mentor about the area of brokenness that you need to submit to God. Ask them to pray with you and walk with you through it.
