I Found God at the End of Myself

I Found God at the End of Myself

By Pinnacle Message

Scripture: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” — Psalm 73:26 (NIV)

Narration:

There comes a moment in every believer’s journey when the strength runs out. The prayers feel empty. The dreams lie shattered. Pride, performance, and personal ability collapse under the weight of reality. It is there—in the ruins of self-reliance—that something unexpected happens.

God arrives.

Not with rebuke, but with rescue. Not with scorn, but with strength.

For Asaph, the psalmist, it happened after envy clouded his sight. He questioned why the wicked prospered while the righteous suffered. But in the sanctuary of God, his vision cleared. And in that stillness, he discovered this eternal truth: “God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Exposition and Interpretation:

Psalm 73 is a confession of a soul wrestling with contradiction. The author admits he almost lost his footing (v. 2). He envied the arrogant and stumbled under disappointment. But the turning point came not through external change—but through entering God's presence (v. 17).

This blog title reflects that moment of complete surrender—where self comes to an end, and divine sufficiency takes over.

This is echoed throughout scripture:

• Paul declares, “When I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10).

• Job, stripped of everything, says, “My Redeemer lives” (Job 19:25).

• David, in despair, writes, “From the ends of the earth I call to you... lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2).

Message to Believers:

Dear reader, if you’ve come to the end of yourself—don’t despair. That’s often where God does His deepest work. It is where we trade our limited strength for His limitless grace.

Let this message guard your feet. Don’t resist the breaking. Don’t fight the surrender. When you let go of yourself, you make room for God to hold you up.

For it is not in your rising, but in your kneeling, that you find the One who never fails.
