There Is Hope in Brokenness, so Don't Give Up. Life is full of surprises, and often, bad things happen when we least expect them. Many of us have faced challenges that have left us feeling broken, yet we haven't lost our resilience. It's okay to feel broken, as long as we don't let it consume us. Even in our brokenness, there is a glimmer of hope.

There Is Hope in Brokenness, so Don’t Give Up. Life is full of surprises, and often, bad things happen when we least expect them.

Even in our brokenness, there is a glimmer of hope.

Genesis 32:22-32

Jacob’s struggle with the angel is a significant biblical event found in Genesis 32:22-32. During this encounter, Jacob, who was a broken man, wrestles with a mysterious figure, often interpreted as an angel or a representation of God, throughout the night.

This struggle symbolizes Jacob’s lifelong battle with both God and man, reflecting the spiritual and personal challenges he faced.

As dawn approached, the figure touched Jacob’s hip, dislocating it, yet Jacob refused to let go, demonstrating his determination and faith.

Ultimately, this encounter led to Jacob being renamed Israel, signifying his transformation and the establishment of the nation of Israel. 

So, there is hope in your brokenness. Don’t give up. Because sorrow may endure through the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Dear Lord, please give me the strength to face the day ahead. Give me wisdom with every step I take and every word I speak. And as the day slips into night, let me retire with unwavering confidence that I have done the best I could, and I have done what is right. Amen.

What love it this. Kari Jobe

God’s love is authentic and unfailing

John 15:13 New King James Version (NKJV)
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Lord your love is authentic and unfailing. You sent your Son, a man without sin to die as a ransom for the sins of others. You have been patient with us through the ages. Still, yet we often take you for granted. But the time will come when you say enough is enough.

Help us to realize that we are on a collision course. And, unless we make an about turn, we are on track to make the same mistake the people made during Noah’s time.

Open our eyes that we may see the danger that lies ahead. And remove the spirit of complacency from within us.

Increase our knowledge and understanding. And guide our footsteps toward the path Jesus walked when He was on earth.

Give us the spirit of boldness and help us to be steadfast in our commitment to serve you. Steer us from distractions and anything that will beset us. Amen
