Wasting Away
-
When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah Psalms 32:3 WEB
David wrote this psalm after falling for Bathsheba. Not only had he gotten a married woman pregnant, he had her husband Uriah, one of his own mighty men (1 Chr. 11:41) killed in order to cover it up. His sin gave him no rest, but kept eating away at him day and night. David was restless and wasting away. His peace was gone. The sweet fellowship that he had with the Lord, had now been broken.
Sin is a slippery slope and will eventually catch up with you. One sin leads to another, and another, like lie upon lie and it gets easier each time. You cannot have peace with God when your conscience is constantly eating away at you. Repentance is the brake pedal that stops it.
If you ever find yourself wasting away, remember this fact: no matter what you have done in this life, in thirty seconds you can be righteous before God, washed as white as snow, and start over with a fresh slate. What is lost can be restored. That which is broken, can be repaired.
Pray this and mean it: "Lord forgive me for what I have done. Jesus come into my life and be My Lord and Savior from this day on." He will take care of the details. Keep a short list with God, be quick to repent and don't get caught in an endless loop while your life wastes away.
Prayer: Father, I thank You for forgiveness. Help me keep my life on course and draw my heart to You in a deeper way. I want You to be a part of life, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
