SCRIPTURE: Psalm 32:1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.
OBSERVATION: What a freedom is experienced when our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus. What a relief to be free from carrying the burden of sin. It is a burden that people can become so accustomed to that they almost do not consider it a burden—that is until it is released. Then they realize a tremendous weight is gone! Of all the blessings one can receive from the Lord, the greatest just might be forgiveness.
APPLICATION: If Leon confesses his sins, God is faithful and just to forgive Leon and to cleanse Leon from all unrighteousness!!! (1John 1:9)
Along with forgiveness, another special blessing is that the Holy Spirit comes to live in my life as a counselor and guide. God has provided a double blessing: first; by the death of His Son on the cross I am forgiven for my sins, AND second; He sends the Holy Spirit to live in me and to help me keep from sinning.
PRAYER: Lord, Thank you for blessing me with your forgiveness! I am forgiven! I am free! And thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to accompany me through every day of this life. Amen.
