Psalms 32 - My Hiding Place

3 When I kept silent {about my sins},
my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long.
4 Day and night your hand lay heavily on me.
My strength shriveled in the summer heat.
Selah

5 I made my sins known to you, and I did not cover up my guilt.
I decided to confess them to you, O Lord.
Then you forgave all my sins.
Selah

7 You are my hiding place.
You protect me from trouble.
You surround me with joyous songs of salvation.
Selah

8 {The Lord says,}
“I will instruct you.
I will teach you the way that you should go.
I will advise you as my eyes watch over you.
9 Don't be stubborn like a horse or mule.
{They need} a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them,
or they will not come near you.”
Psalms 32:3-9 (GW)

Reflection of B:

When I read the above verses I felt like crying, for they were the same prayers and cries I made to God before. I always love to read Psalms, especially I do not know how to prayer express my feelings to God. It is always a relief after I pray using Psalms.

There is no way we can hide our sins from God. His Holy Spirit will prick our conscience day and night till we confess our sins and repent. When we do that God will forgive our sins and be our hiding place. He will teach us in the way we should go. This is my personal experience and testimony.

Even though it may be painful when we give up on doing what is wrong in God's sight, though it may not be that wrong in the eyes of men, God will always ensure that the end result is blessings in our life if we obey. I see His blessings in my life when I obeyed His words.

Dear Lord,
Thank You for forgiving me my sins and teaching me Your path. Praise You for being my hiding place whenever I need one. In You is my security, joy and peace. In You I find strength to go on in my pilgrim journey. I love You, Lord.
Amen.
