Being Broken Before God

 

Today's verse is Psalm 51:17

     The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:

      A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

    Truly, the more we understand and know of God’s Word, Yea, the more we see God, and Know him, we see the damage that was done when our father Adam chose to disobey God, and eat of that forbidden fruit, and so till our redemption is fulfilled when we shall be changed does the flesh continually war against the Spirit of God, and how can this not break us, who have learned to Love the things of God, and the Righteousness of his Word? Did not Jesus tell us that if we should fall up him (the cornerstone chosen of God) we will be broken, but and if we wait till he falls upon us, he will grind us to powder? Let us therefore fear, confessing our sins to him, that being broken, we can then be built up in righteousness according to his Word, even as he has promised in his Word, that in the end, we shall stand before him righteous and whole, to his Honour and Glory. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
