“I live in a high and holy place . . . to revive the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the oppressed.” —Isaiah 57:15
Is there a battle going on in your heart? Is pride or fear keeping you from doing something you know God wants you to do? Perhaps there’s a sin you need to confess, a family member you need to reach out to, or a struggle He wants you to share with another believer, for accountability and prayer.
Whatever it is, don’t delay. If you want a revived heart and relationship with God, run head-on into whatever your pride is telling you not to do. Humble yourself, step out by faith, and obey God! As you do, pride will be crushed and He will give you grace to take the next step.
You can’t imagine the joy that awaits you on the other side of brokenness—the power of His resurrection life that will be released through your death to self, the wholeness that will be born out of your brokenness. Best of all, Christ will be seen, magnified, loved, and worshiped by others.
