Coming to the end of ourselves.
Though this is extremely painful and can take time with many up’s and down’s. When it is finally realized and experienced the blessing that is received. Is like a woman giving birth, all the pain is forgotten because a new life has been birthed.
This may be a metaphor but it is precisely what happens. All our Christian lives before this, is only for the purpose of this; bringing us to the end of ourselves. For God must do all, but God can not do all till our hope is in God alone and we get out of the way and hope and expect all from Him by faith. But this can’t be realized till we see how totally undone and helpless we are to walk in righteousness. Than as scripture says the “just shall live by faith”. Faith in God becomes our lives, faith in God becomes that very thing that is the first thing we think of in the morning. Turning the faith of our hearts to God, not just once, but every moment of the day. Knowing that if He does not cause us to walk in righteousness we will not do so.
Faith in God who says all things have become new.
This coming to the end of ourselves, is Paul realizing “in him dwells no good thing” it is something all Christians that would go on with God and be perfected in Him, have to go through.
Giving up our very self live’s to God. Our very and actual lives to Him. Trusting Him for all, in all and with all, for faith receives from God. But to be brought to the place, as Christians, where faith is all we have left; is a dying to self, a faith and hope in God to do those things He has promised to do in us, for it has nothing left, it has tried all and failed. It’s only hope to walk in righteousness is for God to reach down and cause him to walk in His statutes, which is him walking in newness of life.
Be blessed as God brings us to the end of ourselves, so that we might walk in newness of life.
In Christ, Not me
