Scripture Reading
Psalm 51:16-17
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Reflection
David wrote Psalm 51 after Nathan confronted him about his sin with Bathsheba. What strikes him is that God does not want elaborate ritual to cover the offense — he wants the honest pain of a heart that knows what it has done. Contrite does not mean crushed; it means genuinely sorry, genuinely open to God's correction. That kind of heart, God will never reject.
