King David gave us a great 4pt sermon in his Psalm of repentance (51)
He pleaded, “Be gracious to me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness; According to the greatness of my Thy compassion blot out my transgression.”
He confessed, “Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, and done what is evil in Thy sight.”
He acknowledged, “For Thou dost not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; Thou art not pleased with burnt offering.”
He declared, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart.”
No wonder God called him a ’man after My own heart’.
