Everybody falls sometimes. Nobody lives life perfectly. Thank God He helps the humble and penitent rather than smiting us. If we can get honest and repent God will show love and forgive. And, oh how we need His mercies daily. Psalm 32 stakes the claim that the one who confesses his/her sin and weakness captures the heart of God. “How blessed is he whose transgression is covered”. Have a happy, humble day hanging onto our lifeline. Read Psalm 32 and be blessed by the song Lifeline by Mandisa. Later today join me @ whchurchofchrist.org for our Friday 7:00 P.M. bible study.
Psalm 32
Of David. A maskil.
Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night
your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
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.
Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
