106 SNS:Psalm 38: Confessing Our Sin Is Worshiping God?

See this content in the original post

To help you hear the prayerfulness of the Psalms, here is a Monday Morning Psalm just for you.

Can I just say that it never ceases to amaze me how I can be reading a Bible passage I have read many times before and I’ll see something I have never seen before? Like in this episode for instance. I mean, we all know that sin is a bad thing, right? That part of coming to and relating to God is owning up to it. Owning it and asking for forgiveness and then pursuing God on his terms. Yet, in this episode, we get introduced to an idea that… I had not considered it before. This thought, mind you, comes from the Psalms originally being used in worship services. Here it is; the owning of our sin and confessing it and its consequences, is actually an act of worship. That it not only is what must happen before we can enter into a relationship with God but in the context of that relationship, it is also expressing worship to him. How intriguing is that?

This is an original presentation of Psalm 38, as heard in our podcast. The title comes from our podcast, where we chat about this aspect of this psalm. Here we simply hear the psalm. I hope you find it to be a blessing.
