The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 32:1-7, “How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!

2 How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!

3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah.

5 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.

6 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.

7 You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.”

Remember when you had done wrong and were discovered? Worry set in and you were frozen in fear that what you had done would be discovered. Day after day you lived in fear that what you had done would be discovered. You were bothered within for fear what you had done would be discovered – yet, you were simultaneously afraid it would not! Oh, what frustration!

Then someone in a group where you were suggested that he himself had experienced something quite similar to what you were then hiding. What he described was precisely what you were experiencing! Then one day he just gave up and confessed it all to the LORD. What happened then was amazing! So amazing that you determined then and there to do what the other person had done: he confessed his sin to the LORD and was instantly set free from the emotional turmoil he had experienced!

Please re-read those seven verses above and determine to relinquish that secret that has so troubled you! Not only will the LORD “preserve (you) from touble,” He will surround you with His “songs of deliverance!” Praise the LORD for His unspeakable gifts!

Heartily in Christ,
