The Lego Star Wars games are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me… the simple joy of smashing and blasting almost every thing in the level into little Lego bits never gets old. But while most of the items in the game are designed to be broken apart, the secrets to advancing in the game are often concealed in the shrapnel left behind from these battles. These bits of Lego pieces only reach their full potential after their original configuration has been seemingly destroyed… when they fall apart, they can now be rebuilt into something bigger and stronger that serves a better purpose than before. Taking these broken pieces and turning them into something new is the way the game is designed… and often it is the only way to keep moving forward.

The life of a follower of Christ is far from easy, and following Him often feels like a target was placed on our back… because it has. But even when the attacks of our enemy feel like they are breaking our spirit into little pieces, it is in this place of brokenness that the Lord strengthens and perfects us. Let’s resist the enemy’s attempts to shake our faith with his intimidating roar… our true purpose is revealed through these broken pieces, and the Lord will use the battles that were designed by our enemy to break us down to build us up even stronger than before. 

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 1 Peter 5:8-10

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4
