Psalms 32:1-8
I live near the Dames Point bridge in Jacksonville Florida. When the Cruise liners come in the port, there's a window of opportunity that the ship has to come in or to go out. When the tides drops, it allow the ships to have just enough clearance to get through and under the bridge safely.
God is giving David a window of opportunity to not only come clean, but to confess his sin before God. David is writing this Psalm after his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah.
David does an evil thing, but God has sent His servant Nathan to get king David back on track. David could have attempted to cover up his actions like his predecessor Saul , but he chooses to confess and come clean before God.
Saul's fate ended in great tragedy, but David chooses not to be like a stubborn mule, but to confess his wrong actions and to come clean with God.
David suffers heartache for his wrong actions, but God comes along and shows him great mercy and forgiveness. He says, Blessed is the man whose transgression is forgiven, whose sins are covered. The weight of his sin is now gone, the peace of God has now taken place of the heaviness of his soul.
You can't be happy with sin buried in your life. David says when I hid my sin, all my juices dried up, my moisture has turned into the drought of summer. When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.
David became a man after God's own heat not because he had a perfect record, but because he chose take the window of opportunity to ask for God's mercy and forgiveness. It's a dangerous thing to put God off and to play around with God's love and mercy.
Call on God today, come clean with Him and allow His loving grace and mercy to forever change your future and His favor on your life. He's there waiting to steer your life into His plan and peace forever. Don't miss your window of opportunity to become what God wants you to become.
