Ps 32

Wow! It's Feb 1 already and we are into our 2nd month of reading the Psalms.

I woke this morning confessing my sin to the Lord like David did in Ps 32:5. I acknowledge my sin to You and did not cover up my iniquity. I will confess my transgressions to the Lord and You forgave the guilt of my sin.

Thank you for your gentle reminder that everyone who is godly can pray to You, meaning can come into Your presence & can stand in Your holy place, while You may be found; Surely when the mighty waters rise, it will not reach me.

You are my hiding place, You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. You will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go; I thank you that you will counsel me and watch over me.

I do not want to be like the horse or the mule who has no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle .... or that You have to discipline me with the rod and staff, or be harsh to me like how you would chastise children but I want to be obedient, kind and patience, experiencing Your loving kindness and Your unfailing love because You surround us who trusts in You.

Help me to rejoice and be glad! Sing, all you who are upright in heart!
