And they were shouting with a great roar,
“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!”
Revelation 7:10
The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
Psalm 51:17
“But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Luke 18:13-14
Healing and merciful God, you see us as we truly are and lift our gaze to what we can be. Strengthen our resolve to walk in your way, looking neither left nor right, but keeping our eyes on you. Amen.
