Psalm 32:1-11
32:1-2 This is a Psalm expressing the joy of forgiveness. We are so blessed to receive fresh starts when we require them.
32:3-5 David took responsibility for his mistakes, but dedicated himself to reformation. Because of that, he readied himself for restoration. Self-awareness and ownership of our mistakes is not easy; it is, as David described: heavy. Yet God's forgiveness helps us to deal with that weight and ultimately reduce it as we enter into new seasons of life and spirit and character.
32:6 David anticipated that many people would seek God when they needed him most. Whenever we begin a relationship with God, no matter what precipitated it, we should cling to it. Grow it. We should remain with Him in joy and sorrow, confidence and doubt.
32:7 David sought God all his life. His dwelling place was God. God surrounded David with deliverance and David surrounded God with praise. They were constantly connected.
32:8-9 God invites us to be receptive to His instruction and leadership. To be productive and willing within it. If we are, He will change our situation, our life and the elements of within us that need reconstruction.
32:10-11 Proffered to a child of God is mercy, rather than sorrow. Redemption rather than shame.
