Verse by Verse Thanksgiving Through Psalm 32...

Ps 32 below reminds me of Ps 119:26.  Thank you Father for Your sweet, freeing forgiveness. 

I have declared my ways, and You answered me;

Teach me Your statutes.—Ps 119:26

A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,

Whose sin is covered.

2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity,

And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

I have a recourse when I sin.  I am safe from hell and “no way back” because Christ surrendered His life on my behalf and satisfied God’s just and righteous requirements...mercy prevailed.  I can look up.  

3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old

Through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;

My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah

You desire us to come...to bring our sin to You.  You lead us to repentance.  You want to set our heart free.  You want us to ask for forgiveness so we can be with You forever.  You delivered me because You delight in me.  

5 I acknowledged 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. Selah

No sweeter words...I confess..You forgive

6 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You

In a time when You may be found;

Surely in a flood of great waters

They shall not come near him.

7 You are my hiding place;

You shall preserve me from trouble;

You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

Even more sweet words.  My God is a refuge for me. A hiding place.  He surrounds me with songs of deliverance. So perfect. So beautiful.  So needed. Thank you, Abba. 

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will guide you with My eye.

9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule,

Which have no understanding,

Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,

Else they will not come near you.

You don’t just save me from sin and hell. You keep me safe and guide me through this veil of tears.  You light my path home. Ps 119:105

10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;

But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.

11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous;

And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

MERCY SURROUNDS ME!  I will shout for joy.  Oh...teach me Your statutes.  Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord!
