† Wasting Away † For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah Psa. 32:3-5 David wrote this psalm after falling for Bathsheba, getting her pregnant, and having her husband Uriah killed. Uriah was one of his own mighty men. His sin gave him no rest but kept eating away at him day and night. He was restless and wasting away. His peace was gone. Sin is a slippery slope and will eventually weigh you down. One sin leads to another, and another, like lie upon lie and it gets easier each time. 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 with a fresh slate. What is lost can be restored. What is broken can be repaired.
