Psalm 32 : 5
I said, ‘I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.’ And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
This psalm was written by David after he had confessed of his
sin of adultery with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah and all the hwile when he
tried to hide his sin, the guilt continued to trouble him until his strength
was sapped because of the guilt he suffered.
However after he had confessed of the sin and repented from
it, God forgave him and now the guilt has left him and he could write this
psalm of deliverance.
This is a lesson that we can learn from David, there is no
sin too great that God cannot forgive. All that He wants is for us to repent
and He is waiting to forgive us and to restore us.
God does not want to see us continually under the guilt of
sin, He calls us to come before Him in repentance and He will empower us to
enjoy the freedom from guilt. He had set us the opportunity to come and seek
His face and to confess our sins before Him. He wants to forgive us as the
father of the prodigal son forgave his son who had gone has squander away all
his inheritance.
After David had experienced this forgiveness, then he wrote
in Psalm 32: 1-2 ‘Blessed is he whose
transgression is forgiven. Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against
whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.’
