Psalm 51: 15-16
“15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you have no delight in sacrifice; if I were to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.”
King David was not living a life that was acceptable to God. In his repentance he realized that his praises to God and his sacrifices to God lacked sincerity; lacked the power that only a heart empowered by God has.
David prayed that God give him the power he once had in his worship of Him and the sincerity he once possessed to make sacrifices in His name.
Above all that we have to offer, above money, above rituals, above programs, above any material thing…
God desires our hearts.
May the love of Christ be with you,
Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
