Spiritual Contentment

If we are going to obtain true spiritual contentment, we must learn to heed the voice of God as He draws us to Him. We must learn to deal honestly with our sins, our transgressions and our iniquities before Him in humble confession and repentance.

Psalm 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

David was a great singer.  He was a great king and a great saint. But he was also a great sinner, committing adultery with Bathsheba and having her husband, Uriah, put to death in battle (2 Sam. 11). He has something to teach us about sin and how to deal with it properly.

True spiritual contentment is defined as a heart that is clean, forgiven and honest before the Lord. David had experienced the depths of sin and the heights of the grace of God. He’s telling us that spiritual contentment is found in spiritual cleansing.

Psalm 139:23-24  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
