BROKEN AND HUMBLED

Psalm 51:17

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." NIV

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." KJV

We really learn the true meaning of sacrifice and worship when we have been completely beaten down by the world and our heart has no where to be mended except at the feet of Jesus Christ. If we never feel the desperate need for the grace and mercy of God, it is probably because we have never truly examined ourselves and been keenly aware of our need for a saviour.

Heavenly Father, we asked that you will examine our hearts and open our eyes to the truth about our conditions. Forgive us for accepting shortcomings and continuing on with them until we become satisfied with the life of an impaired Christian. We trust that you will bring us to where we need to be. In Jesus' name, Amen.
