The Right Sacrifice
Psalm 51:17

“The sacrifice you want is a broken spirit. A broken and repentant heart, O God, you will not despise.”

Sometimes nothing will do but brokenness. That’s not a word or thought we hear often, or wish to think much about. We don’t like to think of ourselves as broken, yet the brokenness referred to in Psalm 51 is a brokenness over our wrongs, our sins.

God is not interested in all the things we can do for Him. He’s concerned with our attitude and heart toward Him, especially when we have wronged Him and others. When we come to God with a spirit that says “I’m not fighting you any more” and an attitude that says ‘I repent; I am turning away from the wrong that I am doing” – that’s what God desires.

Enjoy the Journey,
Paul
