Chapel: Psalms 32

Today in chapel, Tommy Nelson (Pastor of Denton Bible Church; author of the Song of Solomon marriage series) preached on Psalms 32. He explained how the first 5 verses are David’s testimony of his sin with Bathsheba. And the next 2 verses (6 & 7) are David talking to God about the refuge that he has found in Him. The last 4 verses (8-11) are God’s reply to David. He says, in verse 9, to not be like the bridled horse. In other words, “Don’t make me force you to do what I want you to do.” this was such a great message. Tommy talked about carnal Christians saying that they cannot live in sin, because they will fill like David did in verse 4 when he felt at odds with God that he said,” Your hand was upon me; my strength was sapped…”. He closed out with a story about a man who had gone very far from the Lord, and the last words he relayed to his son were, “the man who walks outside of fellowship walks on the edge of abyss.” meaning that being out side of fellowship with either God or fellow Christians is an extremely dangerous place to be!
