”How joyful is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How joyful is a person whom the Lord does not charge with iniquity and in whose spirit is no deceit!
When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was drained as in the summer’s heat. Selah
Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not conceal my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to you immediately. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance. Selah
I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with my eye on you, I will give counsel.“
Psalms 32:1-8 CSB
The contrast between living in sin and confessing our sin to God is made clear. Lord, thank You for Your mercy and grace that allows me to live at peace with You! Shatter the lies that hold me back from seeking You so that I can eternally live in your joy!
