You are feeling a huge weight on your shoulders, but you don’t realise there is a way to relieve yourself. Just look at the peace you want, not the things you will “lose.”
Psalm 32 brings a word to those who are carrying a huge burden of guilt for things they have done and want repentance:
“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered” (Psalm 32:1).
Meaning, happy is the one who achieves forgiveness, the one whose sin is covered, washed and eliminated from their life.
“Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit” (Psalm 32:2).
In other words, there is no hypocrisy. If there’s one thing God despises, it’s pretence. And those who act like this have no place in the presence of God because they are already condemned by themselves; because the person who deceives is committing an act of unbelief because they think they can escape in the eyes of God. They are stating that God does not exist.
David talks about how he solved his guilt problem. We all know that David covered his adultery for a while. He kept that sin for many months. In the eyes of others, apparently, everything was fine, but inwardly, he carried more than one weight.
“When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long” (Psalm 32:3).
The solution to that weight was the confession, that is, pulling off the mask:
“I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” (Psalm 32:5).
There, he arrived at a point of the restoration of his own life.
