Live Victoriously

Blessed is the man whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.  Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. Psalm 32: 1-3

           

In Psalms 32 David expresses his joy that God has forgiven his sins.  He goes on to tell how miserable he was when he was living in sin.  He was trying to hide his sin and ignore the consequences.  We do that sometimes too, don’t we?

God has given us the power to live victorious lives (2 Peter 1: 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and goodness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness) but to be able to have that power we need to be honest with God.  He gives us the way to do that too. John 1:9 says that if we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

God promises to walk with us through life.  Whatever comes along he promises to be there with us.  We can take great comfort in that.  

David encourages us to “Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!”
