How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!
Blessed. Transgressions forgiven--lifted up and taken away. Sin covered--made invisible to God. Iniquity, not imputed--it will never be put on your account. Blessed.
Your attitude toward your sin:
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to Thee, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord"; and Thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found; surely in a flood of great waters they shall not reach him. Thou are my hiding place; Thou dost preserve me from trouble; Thou does surround me with songs of deliverance.
He, the One whose heart's desire is to walk with us all day long in the light, reveals to us our sin that we might confess and find cleansing--live in the rhythm of His songs of deliverance. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." "If we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another."
His promise:
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, otherwise they will not come near to you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked; but he who trusts in the Lord, lovingkindness shall surround him. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice you righteous ones, and shout for joy all you who are upright in heart.
Instruction. Teaching. Concerned counsel. Nearness. Trust, be glad, and shout in His promise. Don't resist like the stubborn mule. "Trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
