The one thing God desires from us more than anything else is our loyalty to Him. Our willingness to sacrifice our desires at the altar of His Will. Our hearts connected and in agreement with Him should be our goal. Even when we don’t agree, we need to be willing to accept His decision on the matter, setting our attitude aside. When we are willing, that’s when you know your heart is in the right place (“having the right spirit”).
16 You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one.You do not want a burnt offering.17 The sacrifice You desire is a broken spirit.You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.18 Look with favor on Zion and help her;rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.19 Then You will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit–with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings.Then bulls will again be sacrificed on Your altar.
Psalms 51:16-19
