BibleGateway.com Psalm 51
Lord may your great power cleanse me from my sin. Just like David had done what is the worst. You are still able to make us white as snow. Lord make this my prayer when I have sinned against you. Do not cast me from your presence or take yout Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
It is not our sacrifice that God delights in v16. God commanded the sacrifices but he did not take pleasure in them. Why then did God have Isreal do the sacrifices? The sacrifices were to remind us to have a broken and contrite heart before God. Human nature is we are paying God for his favor by giving Him a sacrifice. God doesn't eat the meat from the sacrifice! Who are you that the Lord need anything from you? No one can give back to God, he does all that he pleases and we should be grateful that His mercy has allowed for his good pleasure to give us far more than we deserve.

A Psalm for each day. A reading and devotional to hopefully help me turn to God. To seek the Lord with all of who I am. I must keep my focus on Jesus.
