LIKE A BURDEN TOO HEAVY TO BEAR

Passage: Psalm 38:1~22  

Key verse: 22

1. My guilt has overwhelmed me (1-14)

David came to God with his sin. He approached God who judges sin. Sin is a burden too heavy to bear. It invites God's wrath and makes men sick in every way. Sin causes unbearable anguish. David suffered because his friends avoided him, and his enemies hoped for his downfall. But he brought all his longings before the Lord. Only God can deal with the matter of sin. In his helplessness David sought God's help.

2. LORD, I wait for you (15-22)

God is the sole judge of sin. He is also merciful to sinners who repent and turn to him. David came to God, and he waited on his answer. He trusted that God would come to his aid and ease of all of his troubles. God is not like people in this world who gloat when God's people suffer. The LORD Is with us and will not forsake us. He is our Savior.



Prayer: LORD, help me to entrust myself to you for the forgiveness of sin. Help me to wait on you as my Savior.

One Word: Bring your sin burden to God
