In today’s Truth Over Tradition Devotional, we continue our series on repentance by turning to Psalm 51:16–17. After his sin with Bathsheba, David discovered that what God desires is not empty ritual but a broken and contrite heart.

This devotional, “A Broken and Contrite Heart,” reminds us that true repentance is not about performance but humility. God will never despise the one who comes to Him broken, honest, and dependent on His mercy.
