I want to direct your attention to a developed thought that I know will bless you for the rest of this year. I ask the Lord to give me the same dedication and passion for this message that he gave me this morning and that I can share it effectively with you as well. Psalm 32, we go to the word of the Lord. Says:
“…Blessed is he whose transgression has been forgiven and his sin covered. Blessed is the man, the woman, whom Jehovah does not blame for iniquity... in another passage of the Bible it says who Jehovah does not blame, that is, he does not attribute guilt even though he has it ─ whom Jehovah does not blame for iniquity and in whose spirit there is no cheating. While I kept silent my bones grew old in my moaning all day, because your hand was heavy on me day and night. My greenery turned into summer droughts, I declared my sin to you and I did not cover up my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah, and you forgave the wickedness of my sin. For this all saints will pray to you at the time when you can be found. Certainly, in the flood of many waters they will not reach him.
