LESSON FOR JUNE 13 BLE88EDNE88 OF FORGIVENESS. I?E8SON TEXT-Pealin 8X GOLDEN TEXT-Bleaiad lt he whoa? ' transgression la forai ven. whoa? ela la 'covered-Psalm lt:L Thia peal m ie believed to have grown out of David's experience with Nathan (see Rom. 4:6-8). It is the second of the seven so-called "peni tential psalms" (6. 32. 88. 61. 102, 130. 143). While lt is ssd, it is st the same time one of the most joyful of all psalms. It ls the record of bitter sor row and also of heartfelt praise, and is as vital in its message today as the day lt was given lo the world. I. The State or Condition of Happi ness. (1) What is happiness? vv. 1, 2. The blessed or happy man is the one whose sin is covered. God only can forgive sin snd hss plainly set before us his agency, vis., tho shed blood. David as king enjoyed the pleasures of life, but he alSj knew the result of bidden sin, of sins covered. Tue Joy of forgiveness ls offered to nil who accept God's gift of Justifica tion (Acts 10:43). Tho psalmist seems to multiply words. "TransgreBBlon" means rebellion; "sin" to muss the msrk (Rom. 3:23); "Iniquity." to be crooked. When men try to cover sin we are expressly told the result (Prov. 28:13). but God literally takes away when he forgives and "covers" sin (John 1:29; Ps. 103:12; 86:2). Nei ther man or devil can uncover what he has covered. (2) Who ls unhappy? vv. 3, 4. Contrasted with the state or condition of hsppiness granted to the forgiven sinner ls presented that of those unforgiven. David kept silence without only to have a raging tempest within-Ups silent, bones "roaring." During the days of David's silence fol lowing his sinful act be was guilty of increased acts of sin and cruelty (2 Sam. 12:31). The origin of the word Selah ls net 'mown. It probably indi cated a musical interlude and In this psalm most appropriately and dramat ically appears. (3) How we may be happy, vv. 6, 6. All ela ls uncovered to God. His all-seeing eye can pene trate man's futile endeavors to hide his transgressions. The first step tb forgiveness snd to hsppiness ls con fession of guilt. God's heavy hand wrought saving faith in David and such faith has as Its first condition confession. "I acknowledged my sin." Such confession is full snd frank. Nothing ls held back nor has lt any element of hypocrisy, and lt always secures results (I John 1:9; Luke 16: 20-23). The godly man, the man who ls the recipient of God's grace thus bestowed, prays tn a time "when thou msyest be found," or (see margin) "in the time of finding out sin" (y. 6 R. V.). The prophet tells us that there is a time wheu we may not find God (Isa. 66:6) and Paul tells us when he may be found (II Cor. 6:2). ll. How to Continue In the 8tate of Being Happy. (1) Our security (v. 7). When men forgive they do not "cover." What God hides he forgets (Isa. 88:17; Micah 7:19). Our security, our "hid ing place" ls Jehovah. Our preserver Is Jehovah (Pe. 91:31; Isa. 32:1, 2). Jehovah preserves from trouble those whom he forgives (Ps. 84:19). Such men have a serenity, a "peace" even the "peace of God" which the sinner can never have (Isa. 26:3; Rom. 6:1; 1 Phil." 4:7).".-(2) Our Instructor (vv. 8, 9). (a) Positively-we have one who [ not only forgives and blots out the past but one who hss promised to "instruct." to "teach" and to "guide." Nearly all believe that the introduc tion of the personal pronouns ie verse 8 Indicate that God ls speaking in response to David's appeal recorded In verse 6. Jehovah guides with his "eye ; upon" na (v. 8 R. V.) He Instructs us by his spirit through his Word (Pa. 119:105; John 16:13). (b) Neg ail' ely-Some must needs be directed >/ "hit and bridle." . Some have to learn through bitter experience. We have oar choice. Those who will not listen' to instruction are compared to the bone and the mule who "have no uuderslanding." Even so they are more useful than those who wildly rmi after ala: Only thus can soma "come sear" (v. 9 R. V.) though that ls bet? er than not to he brought near at aft. (8) Our faith (v. 9). What k?rt of a life will God's forgiven chil dren live? What ls one of the fore most characteristics of a happy life? Here ls the answer. "He that t ru stet h la tba Lord." Thia ls the conclusion of the whole matter. - Oar. only Joy ts in the Lord "who bath done marvelous things whereof we are glad." Christ ls the Incarnate mercy and grace of God. In bim we have God's forgiveness. He supplies on* every need (Phil. 4:19). He pa rd obs, heal?, reates ae, di recta, gi vee power (Matt 88:18-80). Joy and Impurity are never compan ions. Only the pure can parity. Only tba healthyvpaa heal. Only the right eous and free can pardoo. "Rejoice in Jehovah I and leap for Joy, O righteous! and gladly shoat ail ! ya upright in heert/'^Maclaren.
