Psalm 34:18(ESV)
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
To die to self means an act of relationship with God where the physical desires of the heart matter no more to the individual. In this state, God expects us to grow in Him and genuinely seek to walk to attain the crown of righteousness. It is a season where the Lord takes us through His process and brings us to the land of fruitfulness.
In the economy of God, you must go down into the valley of grief before you can scale the heights of spiritual glory. You must become tired and weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship of Christ. You must come to the end of self before you begin to live. The mourning of inadequacy is a weeping that catches the attention of God.
The Bible says, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, and he delivers those whose spirit has been crushed”(Psalm 34:18). The happiest day of your journey with God life will come when you realize that your ability, your goodness, and your strength are insufficient in the sight of God. Beloved, openly acknowledged your need for Christ and He shall come to your rescue. Be blessed!!!
Prayer:
Gracious God, your Name be praised forever in this world. I ask that you take over my life and help me to die to myself. Help me to be fruitful and grant me speed in my daily walk with you in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
