Before he died, Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine waiting to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver .
"You know," he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"The driver said, "No problem. Be my guest!"
Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.
He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.
He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law, but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."
The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that."
The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"The young trooper said...
"I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, alongside Pastor Mrs Foluke Adeboye, were warmly hosted by the President of the Republic of Seychelles, Dr Patrick Herminie, during a courtesy visit at the State House.
When disappointments, betrayals, losses, delays and the vicissitudes of life hit a person repeatedly, sometimes what eventually breaks is not their body, career or bank account—it is their spirit.
And Scripture tells us how serious that is:
“The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?” — Proverbs 18:14
You can survive a bad situation when your spirit is strong. You can survive a financial loss. You can survive rejection. You can survive people walking away. You can survive a season that refuses to make sense.
But what happens when what you have been using to survive becomes wounded?
This is why Satan's attack on Job is so revealing.
God told Satan concerning Job, “Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.” (Job 2:6)
Think about that.
His possessions could disappear.
His children could be taken.
His body could be afflicted.
His reputation could collapse.
His friends could misunderstand him.
But Job himself was still there.
Everything Job had was not Job.
And as long as Job remained, there was still something God could rebuild from.
That is why the end of Job's story is so powerful. God did not need to recover the exact sheep, camels and circumstances Job had lost. He still had Job. And because Job remained, restoration had material to work with.
There is a prophetic picture of this in Job 14:
“For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again...”
The tree may be gone, but the stump remains.
Never underestimate the theology of the stump.
A stump looks like evidence of what has been destroyed, but to God it is evidence of what is still alive.
You may have lost branches.
You may have lost leaves.
You may have lost fruit.
You may have lost seasons.
BUT THE STUMP IS STILL THERE.
And Job says that “through the scent of water it will bud.”
God does not always need to give you back yesterday. Sometimes He only needs to bring living water to what remains of you.
But Psalm 51 takes the revelation even further.
David says:
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” — Psalm 51:17
Now this is astonishing.
Proverbs says a wounded spirit can become unbearable.
But David says a broken spirit can become a sacrifice.
So brokenness can go in two directions.
A broken spirit is useful to Satan, and a broken spirit is useful to God.
Satan wants your breaking to become bitterness, isolation, unbelief, cynicism, self-destruction and hopelessness.
God wants your breaking to become surrender, tenderness, dependence, humility, depth, compassion and consecration.
The difference is not simply that you were broken.
The difference is WHO RECEIVED THE BROKEN PIECES.
Give brokenness to Satan and he will turn your wound into a weapon against your future.
Give brokenness to God and He will turn your wound into an altar.
This is why you must never waste a breaking season.
YOUR BREAKING POINT CAN BECOME YOUR MAKING POINT.
The disappointment that could have hardened you can deepen you.
The betrayal that could have made you suspicious of everybody can make you discerning.
The loss that could have destroyed your faith can strip your faith of everything superficial.
The season that reduced you to a stump can introduce you to the God who knows how to make stumps sprout again.
So when life breaks something inside you, the first question is not merely:
“WHO WILL I GIVE MY BROKENNESS TO?”
Because hell has plans for broken people.
BUT SO DOES GOD.
Satan says, “Give me your brokenness and I will make you bitter.”
God says, “Give Me your brokenness and I will make it an offering.”
Satan says, “This is where your story ends.”
God looks at the stump and says,
“I CAN STILL WORK WITH THIS.”
If the stump remains, there is hope for the tree.
And when you cannot keep it from breaking, decide where the broken pieces will go.
Because a broken spirit can become Satan's workshop—or God's altar.
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
This.
You must understand the place of policy. You must also understand the place of politics and organizational dynamics.
Knowing when to speak, how to speak, what to say, and what not to say matters.
6 Signs Pride May Be Winning in Your Life:
1. Correction makes you angry (Prov. 12:1)
2. Apologizing is difficult (James 5:16)
3. You crave recognition (Matt. 6:1)
You compare yourself with others (Gal. 6:4)
4. You notice others' sins before your own (Matt. 7:3-5)
5. You rarely ask for help (Prov. 11:2)
Pride is much easier to see in someone else.
Ask God to expose it in you.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, "Never play fair in a game where others cheat." It doesn't mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they'll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
