Life Over Coffee

God Is Incrementally and Purposely Putting You to Death


Listen Later

Dying to yourself is the hardest assignment God will ever give you. It is not a one-time altar call, not an emotional moment at a retreat, not a dramatic breaking point you pass through and never revisit. Death to self is a repeated act of surrender, a daily funeral for the autonomous version of you that still longs to run your life independently of God. The good news is that the Lord never commands what He does not also empower. The very God who calls you to die is the same God who works behind the scenes—incrementally, systematically, and purposefully—to dismantle every remaining vestige of self-reliance so that you learn to trust Him more deeply. This divine sabotage is not cruelty; it is mercy. When the Lord disrupts your self-sufficiency, He is rescuing you from the greatest threat to your sanctification, which is your own strength.
