PSA 32:5⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Psalm 32:5)

I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid.

Psalm 32:5⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. (Psalm 32:5)

David practiced keeping short accounts with God. He never tried to hide any wrongdoing but confessed it to the Lord as soon as he realized that he had sinned. This is the way we keep communion with the Lord too. A sin will break that fellowship because God cannot look upon sin. But when “we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Practice this - it makes for a happier Christian life.
