Bloodguiltiness?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask God to take away their guilt. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Some people have guilt feelings about their past. David had committed adultery, murder, and cover-up. It was not until Nathan confronted David that David became guilt ridden.
Psalm 51:14-15 (ESV) is evidence of his confidence that God would deliver him.
“Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.”
God will be faithful to forgive sin when it is confessed.
God can remove the guilt associated with sin.
The forgiveness in David’s life led to praise. If it is appropriate, allow the freedom from guilt to give opportunity to praise.
