Previous Daily Devotional About
a broken spirit… Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a
broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. (NIV) Before
God we cannot be “together”. Before God we cannot be proud, or arrogant, or
puffed up. Before God we cannot be selfish. Before God we cannot be rude. Before
God, all of who we are is exposed. Before God, we will be humbled. Before God,
we will fall down. However, when we fall down before God He will most surely
pick us up. God has a reason for wanting us to be humble and contrite. For when
we are humble and contrite we are then able to listen to God’s wisdom and
truth. When we are able to listen to God in our humility we are then able to
become more like the person of love, caring, understanding, and compassion He
wants us to be. On the surface, a broken spirit appears to be a bad thing.
However, with God there is power in His humility. The power of His humility is
the power of God in our hearts molding us and shaping us into His likeness.
