It’s Time to Come Clean---Psalm 130

Part 6
MOVING ON UP-Journeying through the Psalm of ascent

Are you hiding, hardening, or hollering out for God’s forgiveness? The Psalmist in Psalm 130 found himself in very very low place because of his iniquities but he found his way back to spiritual sanity by stripping himself of all of his pride and pretentiousness and crying out. However, human history has shown that the normal course of action is for us to either hide in our sin or to develop a hardened heart because of our sin. Which course of action do you normally take? Theologian James Montgomery Boice says that so many of us have lost our “awareness” of sin because we have lost our “awareness” of God. Since we no longer bring God to bear on our details of life, then it does not behoove us to depart from willfully sinning in daily life.


The Psalmist said that God will forgive us, but the response to His forgiveness should be faithfulness. Psalm 130:4 Liberty was never meant to be a license to live loosely.. Romans 6:1 So what do you need to come clean about? What have you been living in regret, shame, and humiliation about it? I encourage you today to come out of hiding, come out of hardening, and walk into your hallelujah because we serve a forgiving God! Make your way to His throne of grace…He’s been waiting on you!!!!!
