Quacking the Case
JUNE 12, 2024
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Psalm 51:12
Recommended Reading: Psalm 51
Last August a water pipe in Gloucestershire, England, became blocked. Engineers sent in a robotic camera and found a duck waddling along. They had expected debris or trash, but it was a duck—which they successfully extracted and rescued.
Sometimes the spiritual channels in our lives become blocked. We quench the Holy Spirit, and the flow of His joy is blocked by some sin that is waddling through our heart. We’re to be joyful people, but if we’ve lost our joy, the problem may well be an obstacle in the pipeline of grace. It doesn’t mean we’ve lost our salvation; we’ve lost the joy of our salvation.
Our way of extracting the blockage is by confessing our sin. Unconfessed sin quenches the joy of our salvation. But when we confess our sin and ask God for His forgiveness, we receive forgiveness. God also restores to us the joy of our salvation.
If you have sin that hasn’t been dealt with, ask God today to forgive you and to restore to you the joy that comes by His Spirit as evidence of your salvation.
Confession is a means to humble the soul…. Gives vent to a troubled heart…. Endears Christ to the soul.
Thomas Watson
