You Forgave
The Guilt
Of My Sin
Happy are those whose transgression is
forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy are those to whom the LORD imputes no
iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
While I kept silence, my body wasted
away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy
upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and
I did not hide my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the
LORD,” and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
Therefore let all who are faithful
offer prayer to you; at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not
reach them. You are a hiding place for me; you preserved me from trouble; you
surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah
Sin can build up from very small
things we do or do not do. Before long any good that we do is outpaced by the
bad we do. Resentments, sharp words, impure thoughts, or selfish attitudes all
take their toll.
If the accumulation of unconfessed sin
has gathered on your soul, do as David did – confess it to the Lord. Wipe away
the sin from your life by rededicating yourself to Christ. Enjoy once again the
glorious sunshine of God’s love.
Confession of
sin lets the light of God’s forgiveness
shine through.
