6-3-21 THOUGHTS

Often, David would take a psalm and teach a whole lesson on life.  The psalm below was probably a song as the “Selah” is a musical term, maybe meaning silence or a pause?  Many thoughts are below.  “Be glad in the Lord and rejoice.”

Ps 32:1-11     How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!  2  How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit! 3  When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. 4  For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah. 5  I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah. 6  Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him. 7   You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. 8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 9  Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you. 10  Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in the LORD, lovingkindness shall surround him. 11  Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

1John 1:8-2:2     If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. 2:1  My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2  and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

My Prayer:
Thank you for listening to us in prayer.  May our hearts be open as we confess our sins freely.
We praise you for forgiving our sin.  We are so needful, and you O God are so gracious and loving.   Thank you Father for the assurance that Jesus is our Advocate.  May we bless your name with our lives and with our whole heart.    In Jesus name          Amen
