Day 32

PSALM 32: The blessedness of confession and forgiveness

This is the first time blessedness has been spoken of explicitly since Psalms 1 and 2. What is the blessedness in this psalm (verse 1 and 2)?

What was the experience of the psalmist before and after his confession of sin?

Romans 4:7-8 quotes this psalm in the context of ruling out works as a grounds for our justification – so even confession of sin doesn’t count as a good work!

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Confess your sins and rejoice in the forgiveness and covering that comes through Christ.

2. Pray for those who will be learning about what church membership means and why it matters at OnBoard today. Ask God’s help as they consider God’s word, raise questions and get to know church leaders and other members.

3. Dan & Rachel Djamaludin: Pray for the wider church presbytery to have wisdom in supporting the Djamaludins' ministry.
