Casting Crowns – Broken Together

When I am walking along the waterfront it becomes so obvious how useful the placement of rocks are in stopping the encroachment of the water. It is definitely the best foundation to build a lighthouse on. Rocks in the unquarried state do not do much but it is a sight to see when they are broken to be used. I think that I am in the same boat – to become an able and devoted servant of Jesus, a disciple, living in the faith and being of some help in this world – I need only be broken to be useful.

 Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? – Jeremiah 23:29  ESV

I can be broken because I have been justified by the grace and mercy of God. In my brokenness I can confirm and even settle others in the belief of God Word as truth and what follows is a demonstration of that faith in my works. 

The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. – Titus 3:8  ESV
