There really is no such thing as hidden sin. We can fool one another - sometimes for a lifetime. Yet, even if we succeed in fooling one another by keeping secret sins, God is never fooled by us. David seemed to have gotten away with adultery and murder, yet it would not be long before the prophet Nathan directly confronted David. Before that confrontation occurred, however, David lived in increasing torment about what he had done and what he was hiding. Psalm 32 is the account of those months wherein David was living under the disciplining hand of God. His words serve as a great warning and motivation for all of us to never hide our own sins. To confess and forsake a sin is to be restored into the beautiful fellowship we have with God. David learned this the hard way, and his words in Psalm 32 help us to never have to learn it the hard way for ourselves.
