Ponder in your own heart

Be angry, and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the LORD.
(Psalm 4:4-5 ESV)


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.
(Psalm 51:16-17 ESV)

Heart, let us take our lessons slowly and ponder together.

Heart, be remorseful, and broken. God does not delight in our gifts but our sincerity of feeling grieved for our sin.

Heart, let us pause and ponder our sins against our LORD and seek His salvation.


In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
(Psalm 4:8 ESV)

I pray this tonight.
