Verse of the Day, July 9, 2020
Psalm 51:17 KJV “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”
A broken spirit is the sacrifices of the Almighty! Contrite heart, what exactly do these mean? In the beginning, GOD only wanted Adam to obey. During the days of the children of Israel being delivered out of Egypt, the ALMIGHTY of Israel only wanted HIS Kingdom to obey, do justly, and walk humbly with their POWER.
They wouldn’t instead they wanted to do sacrifices as the other nations, but GOD does not desire sacrifices. If we are bent on giving sacrifices, the ALMIGHTY desires sacrifices of a broken spirit, a broken and contrite spirit.
He will not despise these sacrifices but will uphold them. A broken and contrite spirit is one of deep sorrow and regret, apologetic for one’s actions, for the actions of one’s forefathers, and for the current actions of one’s brothers, parents, and children.
Let’s us all allow the ALMIGHTY to create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit in us.
Praise the Almighty today!

Psalm 51 King James Version
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then
shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt
offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon
thine altar.
