We want clarity. We want certainty. We want to know how situations will unfold and whether the decisions we are making are the right ones. Yet many of us begin this day carrying questions that remain unanswered and paths that are not yet fully clear. Perhaps that is where you find yourself today. Not in a crisis. Not overwhelmed by fear. Simply trying to understand the next step. The good news is that God rarely asks us to see the whole journey at once. More often, He lovingly guides us one step at a time. The Lord who sees the destination is more than capable of directing the path that leads there. His guidance is not rushed. His wisdom is not confused. His timing is not uncertain. Father, thank You for this new day and for the promise that You do not leave me to navigate life alone. Thank You that You see what I cannot see and know what I do not yet know. Jesus, where I need direction, guide me. Where I need wisdom, teach me. Where I am tempted to worry about tomorrow, help me focus on the step You are placing before me today. Lord, give me peace when answers seem delayed. Help me trust that Your loving eye remains upon me even when the road ahead is not fully visible. Teach me to walk by faith, trusting that You are leading me with wisdom, grace, and purpose. Across the world, from Dallas to Auckland, from Lagos to Singapore and São Paulo, may hearts find confidence in the God who faithfully guides His people one step at a time. Jesús, guíame paso a paso hoy. Jesus, guia-me passo a passo hoje. Jesus, gabayan Mo ako sa bawat hakbang ngayon. Father, I trust You with today's path and tomorrow's journey. Amen.

Though David is a prime example of faith, he was far from perfect. He was a man with experience in sin. Because he loved God, he was also a man with experience in turning to Him for mercy. Psalm 32 presents David's counsel to those who have sinned.

In Psalm 32, David reveals the difference between the misery of hidden sin and the joy of restored fellowship with God. This message explores how true happiness is not found in success, comfort, or self-denial, but in the forgiveness that comes through God's grace. Concealed sin drains the soul, but honest confession opens the door to mercy, healing, and lasting joy. Through Christ, God not only forgives our sin, He restores us to fellowship with Himself. Forgiven people are called to live joyfully, walk closely with God, and rest in Him as their refuge and hiding place.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where Hunter invites you to join in a journey through the Scriptures—warming your heart by the fires of God's love. In today's episode for May 8th, 2026, we read from 2 Samuel chapters 15 and 16, Psalm 32, and Matthew 25. As Hunter guides us through the dramatic tale of Absalom's rebellion, David's sorrow, and the lessons of Jesus' parables, we're invited to examine our own hearts, reflect deeply on the call to love others, and find hope and guidance for our daily lives. Settle in, open your Bible, and let's discover together what God has for us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: This is a parable. It's important to know what we are reading. A parable is typically teaching us something about the nature of reality. Stories peel back what's under the surface. And in this case, Jesus is using a story to peel back a form of religion that is profoundly misguided. It has missed the point that our life in God is a life of love and will find its expression in the way we see all people, even those outside of our group, even those who are unseen by all groups. The religious culture of his day was preoccupied with a lot of things that had the appearance of piety and orthodoxy. A lot was being said about God and God was being leveraged by a lot of people to control and to coerce. God was being used and abused by the culture and by those in power. But he was not being known. This parable peels back what's really going on, and it asks us to examine our hearts. Today, the worst way to read this parable is to look from above and assume that I am a sheep and to use the text to condemn those that we think are goats. Rather, we are invited to sit under these words today and say, I see the goat in my own heart. Lord, I repent. And I ask you to judge this in me. Unmask the lies in my life that make me get it wrong. Help me to see how you see all people, even those who are outside my group, even those who are considered the lowest and the least. Show me those things that stand in the way of me fully understanding who I am in you and who you are for all. And that's the prayer that I have for my own heart. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Summary In this sermon on Psalm 32, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks the hard truth that much of our pain is self-inflicted. While not all suffering comes from personal sin, this psalm forces us to ask how often our misery is tied to rebellion, stubbornness, poor decisions, and refusing to deal honestly with God. David contrasts two paths: the hard way of hidden sin and the easy way of confession and forgiveness. The message centers on the joy of being truly forgiven. Easley explains that sin is more comprehensive than we like to admit—it is rebellion, falling short, and inward corruption. Yet God's forgiveness is equally comprehensive. He lifts sin away, covers it, and refuses to count it against the believer. David's testimony shows what unconfessed sin does to the soul: it drains strength, brings guilt, and robs joy. But confession brings immediate relief, restored fellowship, and lasting peace. This sermon is both a warning and invitation. God does not want His children living under the crushing weight of guilt. He calls us to stop resisting, stop hiding, and come clean before Him. The only lasting joy in life is not achievement, success, or comfort—it is knowing your sin has been forgiven by a merciful God. Takeaways Psalm 32 teaches that real joy is only found in the life of a person who has been forgiven by God. Unconfessed sin does not stay hidden quietly—it drains strength, produces misery, and weighs heavily on the soul. David shows that confession begins when we stop excusing, hiding, and blaming, and instead take ownership of our sin. God's forgiveness is complete: He lifts away sin, covers it, and no longer counts it against the believer. Even when God forgives sin, He may still allow consequences to remain as a sobering reminder of the cost of disobedience. Wisdom chooses God's way early, because the “easy way” of obedience always leads to more peace than the hard way of rebellion. To read the Psalms, click here.

John Baumgartner Jesus was always praying and seeking communion with His Father, and He has given us the same Spirit of adoption that we too cry out, “Abba! Father!” Prayer is the most natural act of the new creation we are in Christ, but also the most difficult for sinners. We are afraid to show our sins to God and instead try to hide from Him. We imagine that He would be angry to see us, but He is a God of infinite mercy and pity. He bids you come and welcomes you as your God and Father.
This prayer celebrates the goodness of confessing our sin to God and being forgiven by him! Might this psalm give you words when you feel hesitancy to confess your own sin.

The Blessing of Confessing (Psalm 32) by Josiah Graves
Just like any family trip to a far away place, everyone starts getting grumpy quick. New questions arise about who may partake of the Passover and who should abstain. After Israel leaves Mount Sinai for the Promised Land they becomes dissatisfied with what the Lord provides, complaining that the food they had in Egypt was better than manna from the Lord. Moses complains to the Lord that these people aren't his babies and he shouldn't have to nurse them. Miriam and Aaron get jealous of the authority given to Moses, and criticize him in order to elevate themselves. Finally, their journey could have been over in almost no time, but instead of confronting their enemies as the Lord had commanded, they cower, complain, and make excuses. Numbers 9 – 1:16 .

In another pair of Psalms we look to the tools of repentance and confession and their importance for Christians personally and communally as we enter into the joy of salvation. Read Psalm 32 and thanks for listening!
Psalm 32:1-71 Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.2 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me, my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.[b]5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

On today's episode God begins to give very specific commands to the Israelite people on what it looks like to be fair, kind, and gracious to one another. The Lord's justice is severe for those who are selfish and outright rebellious, but gracious toward those who have no intention of causing harm. As you listen, it can be tempting to think that these are dry or irrelevant, but put yourself in the shoes/sandals of the original audience, whose livelihood wasn't based on cash or money, but on livestock, crops, and community with one another. Imagine yourself in each situation, & the text becomes much more interesting.Exodus 22 - 1:02 . Exodus 23 - 6:53 . Exodus 24 - 13:14 .

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
This is a guided meditation and reflection on all of Psalm 32. Psalm 32 starts with the reminder of the joy we should know because of the fresh start and a clean slate we’ve been given through Jesus. Have we forgotten how amazing and miraculous his work is in our lives? This Psalm also reminds us that hiding sin in secret places will eat us up from the inside out. The amazing news is – when we bring anything hiden into the light, God renews and receives us. Did you catch that? Every single time you turn back to God, he receives you. Every. Single. Time. He does not tire of our returns, he celebrates them. In this meditation, we will listen to Psalm 32 from the Message Translation and I will give you prompts to reflect on with the Lord. Each reflection space in 1 minute long. Feel free to pause or rewind if you need more time. May the Lord guide you to what he has for you through his Word today. Here are the reflection prompts: Consider, what would your life be like without Jesus? Thank God that through Jesus he has given you a clean slate. Recall a time when you were hiding from God and others and how it felt. When you returned to God and stopped hiding from others, how did that feel? Thank him for his mercy. Bring it forward to today… is there any place in your life that you feel you are hiding from God or others? If so, what’s holding you back from bringing it to the light? Ask God if there is any place in your life where you’re being ornery like a horse or a mule and resisting him. If he reveals anything, Ask him for his help. If nothing comes to mind, ask him to help you stay tender and responsive to his leading. Praise God for the truth that you are loved every time you turn around. If there’s a place that God has shown you where you need to turn around, ask God for his help. And remember you will be received with love. Here’s some links I discussed in the podcast: The guided retreat to help you move into this new year with intention is here.

And if you’re ready to make Scripture Meditation a part of your new year, I encourage you to join my Monday email newsletter here. I’ll send out link to the newest meditation every Monday morning. Download free sample chapters from my Bible studies here. The passages we meditated on is as follows: Psalm 32, The Message Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be— you get a fresh start, your slate’s wiped clean. 2 Count yourself lucky— God holds nothing against you and you’re holding nothing back from him. 3 When I kept it all inside, my bones turned to powder, my words became daylong groans. 4 The pressure never let up; all the juices of my life dried up. 5 Then I let it all out; I said, “I’ll make a clean breast of my failures to God.” Suddenly the pressure was gone— my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared. 6 These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray; when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts we’ll be on high ground, untouched. 7 God’s my island hideaway, keeps danger far from the shore, throws garlands of hosannas around my neck. 8 Let me give you some good advice; I’m looking you in the eye and giving it to you straight: 9 “Don’t be ornery like a horse or mule that needs bit and bridle to stay on track.” 10 God-defiers are always in trouble; God-affirmers find themselves loved every time they turn around. 11 Celebrate God. Sing together—everyone! All you honest hearts, raise the roof! Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
