Psalm 51:17

a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

I have been thinking a lot about this scripture lately. Our music pastor took the choir on a retreat and this was the theme of the retreat. What got me thinking about this was a question that arose from with in me. "do I have a broken heart before God?" or am I lifting myself up?
We Had our first service at a new facility last sunday and there was a lot of tension in the air, everybody running around to make sure things were working and going correctly, but in the midst of it all something stood out to me. Our Children's service was going on and our drama team was ministering and most of the 67 kids that were there were kind of sitting there watching politely but one little girl wasn't.
This little girl was standing up with both eyes shut tight and with one hand lifted up. She was praising God with all her heart and soul. She was Oblivious to what was taking place around her and who was around her. At that moment the above scripture jumped into my heart. This little girl is 6 years old and she gets it.

my prayer today is this
"I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." Luke 10:21
thank you Jesus for making things clear to me.
