out of office autoreply

I know there's no “autoreply” for a blog, but….

Here's a question to ponder: In Psalm 51, David says that God doesn't want burnt offerings from him, but a broken and contrite heart.

I've always taken that for granted, until I read what Spurgeon pointed out: That for the sins David had committed — adultery and murder — there IS no sacrifice authorized by the law of Moses. The only penalty was death.

How gracious of God to accept a broken heart instead!

I'll be back in cyberspace on Memorial Day —

Grace and peace to all. L
