Who is Willing to Consecrate Themselves to the Lord Today? (calling all broken spirits and cedar logs)

Episode 84. Who is Willing to Consecrate Themselves to the Lord Today? (calling all broken spirits and cedar logs)

Psalm 51:17

17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;

    a broken and contrite heart

    you, God, will not despise.

I am layer upon layer crazy about this... that the thing we can give to God through the agency of our free will, are the things that come from a broken spirit. A broken spirit requires everything we are. That we sacrifice more cedar logs than could be counted.

To be clear, to seek clarity, to better comprehend, here is a start to what I choose out of my broken spirit. 

Consider who we choose, and over what.

Join me.

I choose His provision over my prowess.

I choose His sovereignty over my self-interest.

I choose His love over my lament.

I choose His grace over my good deeds.

I choose His call over my captions. 

I choose His glory over my gain.

I choose His will over my wanting.

I choose His call over my creativity.

I choose His story over my strategy. 

I choose His delight over my determination. 

I choose His strength over my stamina.

I choose His bounty over my best effort. 

I choose His Son over my sovereignty.

When we have a broken spirit, what we leave behind is what our sin nature tries to hold us captive to. 

... all the earthly pursuits we try to power through on our own merit. 

It is such a strain on our God-given soul.
