The sins we commit not only affect us, but they affect others—even the unsaved. Sin silenced David tongue. He had no song and no witness (v.15). When we lose our song and our praise and our testimony, we affect others. David was not able to talk to people about the Lord. But when God forgave him and his sin was washed away, he was able to say, “Then I will teach transgressions Thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto Thee” (v.13).

God has called each of us to be His witness. Our task is to teach transgressors His ways. Our privilege is to lead sinners to the Lord. Sin spreads like a disease. It is not only robs our joy, but it may affect our witness to others. Let’s ask God to cleanse us And open our lips so we can share the good news of the Gospel with others. Don’t let sin steal your witness for the Lord. Keep your heart clean before Him.
