"Blessed is he 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." Psalms 32:1-2 (NIV)
This psalm of King David tells the people that a man is blessed whose sins are forgiven. He is blessed because The Lord has forgiven him, and he is blessed because The Lord does not hold the sin which he committed against him. He also said blessed is the man who has a good spirit.
We all are blessed in more ways than we can count. Each breath and each heart beat is a blessing from God. We are specially blessed when The Good Lord blesses us by forgiving us of our sins when we pray and ask Him to forgive us. The blood which He shed on Calvary was sufficient to cover all of our sins and cleanse us from all of our unrighteousness. (Matthew 26:28 and Hebrews 9:22) Our sins will not be held against us if we believe in Him and confess our transgressions. (1 John 1:9) Most of our sins are intentional, willful, conscience, rebellious acts which we know go against The Word of God. That is why we must confess, sincerely repent, and turn from our wicked ways if we want The Good Lord to hear and grant our prayer requests. (2 Chronicles 7:14) We must also pray for help and forgiveness for our sinful thoughts, for only God can give us a clean heart and a right spirit. (Psalms 51:10) May we be blessed to have our transgressions forgiven, our sins removed from our record, and our spirit free of deceit.
