Grace for your spirit January 25, 2011

Grace for your spirit
For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. Psalm 51:16-17

We think we know what pleases God. We think that he wants us to sacrifice our time, our money, and our talents to serve Him. We think that if we sacrifice enough, we can live anyway we want to live. Sort of a "play and pay plan." David discovered that he could never know what God really wanted until he was broken. A repentant broken spirit, and broken heart, made him realize that God didn't want sacrifice alone. Once he was broken, then God could fix him. Need a fix? Allow God to break us down and our new heart will be greater.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
