Background: Many scholars believe, that Psalm 51 – was clearly written after David’s sin with Bathsheba and against Uriah – David promised to “teach transgressors Your ways” (Psalm 51:13), and this psalm [32] may be the fulfillment of that vow. John Trapp said that Psalm 32 and Psalm 51 are “tuned together.”

Examination: David in this Psalm talks about what was it like when he lived in sin, did not confess and change. Psalm 32:3-4 “For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.”

How dreadful it is when we are not convicted of our sins, the world has become so busy that we even stopped hearing the prompts from the Holy Spirit. Pulpits has convinced us that grace is a license to live in sin. Oh Lord you send a flood of light into our lives.

Response: David once he realized, Psalm 51 is pleading to the Lord to restore his relationship. True repentance is the most powerful act, and it is so beautiful when the Lord almighty accepts it. That’s why David said in Psalm 32:5-6 “⁵ I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Therefore, let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found”

The mere thought there is time that we can find the Lord, what is that time, surely it is when the Lord convicts you. It is the time when our loving savior reminds us to take a U-turn, are we ignoring the Lord s prompting?

Miracle: What is a true miracle? What is the greatest blessing? Nothing but a sinner is forgiven, and Lord Jesus started a good work in a sinner’s life and starts the journey of sanctification, that’s why Psalm 32:1 David said “Blessed is the one 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.”

And if we truly confess and change, how do we live in this fallen world, The Holy Spirit will guide you, Jesus will intercede and Father hears our cries, how beautifully David mentioned what the Lord says in Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.”

Warning: Do not ignore the prompting of the Lord, David mentioned in Psalm 32:9 “Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.”
