Psalms 32: 3
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah.
Trying to hid sin you will end up griping, complaining and grumbling about most things in your life, for you will be seeing the world throw the filter of your sin. And your health will go downhill.
Because God loves us He will discipline us which can fell heavy on us as if His hand were upon us but His correction is for our good not our destruction. And through His correction bringing us to humility our drive after the vanity of this world will drain away, like your energy and strength can drain away in the summer heat.
Selah: to stop and take time to think about what was just said, to contemplate digest and apply to our lives
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I did not hide;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.
We are to openly and willingly confess our sins before the Lord and ask to be forgiven, we cannot hide from God He knows our every move, thought, word and action. It is the sins we keep from the Lord that will keep us from entering in to heaven, for sin separates us from God and unforgiven sin once we die is damnation to our soles.
Selah: to stop and take time to think about what was just said, to contemplate digest and apply to our lives
Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him
You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble;
You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.
We need to seek the Lord wall we can for the day and time will come we will not have the option to ask and be forgiven of our sins. If we will turn to Him when He is tugging at our hearts, He will be faithful to forgive and forget, if we will confess Him before other men He will be willing to confess us before His Father in Heaven.
He is our hiding place if we will confess our sins turn from our evil ways He is more than willing to shelter us as a mother hen protects her chicks. And we will be delivered before Father God on the day of Christ return.
Selah: to stop and take time to think about what was just said, to contemplate digest and apply to our lives
so take the time to think about what you read Selah and be blessed
