Grace for your spirit April 30, 2008

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

After King David was nailed to the wall for his sins of adultery, and murder, he suffered greatly. He wanted to get back to God, and he decided to sacrifice everything that was necessary He just wanted to pay the ticket, whatever it was, and get on with his life. God revealed to him that sacrifices would not do it. He needed a broken heart of repentance. The only path back to God is true repentance. When our intimacy with God is broken, sacrifices will not do. The road to God is back through the conflict with a heart God can use. When we are really broken, it is time to come home.

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