Track 5: Heart of Worship
Scripture: Psalm 51:17
Devotion:
Psalm 51:17 says, “My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.”
This verse comes from David’s prayer of repentance after his sin with Bathsheba. It reveals the heart of true worship: humility and repentance before God. David recognizes that God is not looking for mere outward sacrifices but for a heart that is truly broken and contrite.
A broken spirit and a contrite heart signify a deep sense of humility and sorrow for sin. It is an acknowledgment of our own unworthiness and a recognition of God’s holiness and mercy. True worship begins with this posture of humility, where we come before God, fully aware of our need for His grace and forgiveness.
In our modern context, it’s easy to get caught up in the external aspects of worship—songs, instruments, and rituals. However, God is seeking worshipers who come to Him with genuine hearts. He desires a relationship with us that is built on honesty and vulnerability. When we come before Him with a broken and contrite heart, we open ourselves to His healing and transformative power.
This kind of worship is not about perfection but about authenticity. It’s about laying down our pride, admitting our faults, and seeking God’s mercy. It’s about trusting in His unfailing love and grace to restore and renew us.
As you meditate on this verse and this song, reflect on your own heart. Are there areas where you need to humble yourself before God? Are there sins that you need to confess and repent of? Come before God with a broken and contrite heart, and experience the depth of His love and mercy.
