In this
Psalm, David is giving instructions on the forgiveness of sin. The remission of sin gives all Christians rest
and relief and great spiritual blessings. Some people pray faithfully but never mention
their sins and specifically ask forgiveness. In verse 3, he confesses that the more he
prayed without confessing sin, the harder his life became and the more
miserable he was.
In verse 5,
he decided to quit hiding his sins and confess his sins to the Lord who forgave
them all. He admonished us to pray while
there is still time. When troubles come,
as they surely will, He will be there to protect you and “see you through”.
The Lord
promises to watch over us and guide us in the way that we should live. He instructed us not to be stubborn like a
horse or mule that won’t come to the master without a bit in his mouth and
being pulled by reins.
The Psalm
ends with David telling his followers that pain will come to the wicked but
love will surround those that trust in the Lord. All those that are righteous, rejoice!
Dear
Heavenly Father,
Thank you
for sending your Son into our world. Dear
God, I sin each day. I pray for your
forgiveness of my transgressions. Please
be with me daily and guide me to be a better example for those around me.
In Christ’s
name,
Amen.
