"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Blog Title: "The Blessings of Forgiveness"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 32:1-11
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 32:5 "I acknowledge my sin to you, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," And You forgave the iniquity of my sin."
Psalm 32 is a wisdom psalm and is also one of the great penitential psalms. It is generally believed that this psalm has its origin in David's response to God following his infamous affair with Bathsheba. It is one of the marks of the integrity of Scripture that the low points as well as triumphs of its principle characters are described. This psalm has five parts (1) a description of blessing (verses 1,2); (2) a report of David's agony before he confesses his sins (verses 3-5); (3) a lesson to others based on David's experience with the Lord (verses 6,7); (4) an oracle from the Lord on righteous living (verses 8,9); (5) concluding praise to the Lord for His mercy.
In forgiveness God takes way the sin which makes the sinner guilty and releases us from the threat of punishment. The Old Testament never explains how a Holy God is able to absolve those who believe in Him. In the New Testament, forgiveness is linked with Jesus and His death. Jesus sacrificed Himself taking, as our substitute, the punishment God has decreed for sin. Forgiveness is a loving act of God in which, in view of Christ's sacrifice, He pronounces the guilt innocent and so takes away our sins forever.
Today's Hymn: "Give Thanks"
Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ
His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ
His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong," Let the poor say, I am rich because of what the Lord has done for me
Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks to the Holy one,
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks, give thanks
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus , Holy Spirit Abba Father how grateful we are to You because of Your great love for us that You sent Your Son Jesus to this earth to die our death upon that cross. Holy Spirit counsel us and lead us to what is best for us. Instruct us and teach us in the ways that we should go.
Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
