Whenever we are ready to uncover our sins, God is ready to cover them.
Read Psalm 32:1-11
If you have something to hide, Mike Slattery may have the solution. Several years ago, a cell phone company wanted to erect an antenna on his property and disguise it as a pine tree. Mike had a better idea and built a fake barn with vinyl panels that allow the radio waves to pass through them. He developed that concept into a company that builds structures to hide antennas for aesthetic and security reasons. Slattery is convinced that many of his neighbours still have no idea what’s in his barn (The Gazette, Colorado Springs).
Most of us are trying to keep something out of sight. It may be as harmless as clutter in a basement or as toxic as the moral and spiritual failures we try to hide from others, ourselves and even from God.
In Psalm 32, David describes the futility of trying to conceal his sin (vv 3-4) and the relief of opening his soul to the Lord: “I acknowledge 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” (v 5).
Confessing our sins to God and forsaking them brings a sense of freedom to our souls and the awareness that we have nothing to hide.
