A Psalm of Instruction. Psalm 32

 

Psalm 32 – A Psalm of Instruction

 

David is giving instruction. He is telling us that he had made his confession to God, was forgiven, and had found complete restoration. He found shelter in God and was given a song of deliverance.

It is the blessedness of a man whose sin has been forgiven. Christ died for our sins; and, in His death as substitute for sinners, He met and satisfied the righteousness of God.

When faith is exercised in Christ, it is counted for righteousness. In Romans 4:5, it says, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

God does not impute sin who trusts in Christ. That sin was put on Christ. “Who was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification.” Romans 4:25

David had sat on the throne, but his conscience bothered him. Even his bones bothered him.

If you are a child of God, you can sin, but you cannot get by with it. That is the difference between the saved and the unsaved.

“For if we would judge ourselves we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world” I Cor. 11:31-32.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9. God can be your hiding place.

You must be very close to the Lord if you are going to be guided by His eyes.

If you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can lift your heart in great joy to God.
