"Godhelp"

Read:
Psalm 32

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. -Psalm 32:1

Bible In One Year: Numbers 1-3

A man arrested for the murder of a 12-year-old girl was also suspected of other killings. When police searched his computer, they found a file labeled "My Sins," but it couldn't be opened because it was protected with a password. A computer expert went to work using software to break the code. After 16 hours and billions of combinations, he found this password: "Godhelp." The file detailed six brutal crimes, including rape and murder.

I wonder if that man had created the file and its unique password because of the overwhelming burden of guilt for what he had done. Perhaps he knew that only God could help him deal with the enormity of his crimes.

We all have past sins that weigh us down. We may feel as David did when he wrote that God's hand was heavy upon him day and night and that his "vitality was turned into the drought of summer" (Psalm 32:4). Yet relief can come. David said, "I acknowledged my sin to You . . . . I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and You forgave the iniquity of my sin" (v.5).

The miracle of God's forgiveness does not remove the consequences of our sins. But when we confess our sins to Him, He will forgive us and cleanse us (1 John 1:9). His mercy and help are sure. -David McCasland

Lord, give me courage to confess,
To bare my sinful heart to Thee;
Thy full forgiveness I would know
And from this weight of guilt be free. -D. De Haan

When God forgives, He removes the sin and restores the sinner.

I have contributed nothing to threads so frequently that I am on 200 different ping lists. People say, "Let's Ping CG and NnB. They can really add nothing to this discussion."

[JustAmy]

Thank you both for contributing to our "Nothing to Celebrate" Day.

Hope your Nothing Day was not a nothing day.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I need a nothing day break from my everything days.

[JustAmy]

Have a great Thursday and
a weekend that is even better than today.

Love

Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get, and hard to hold.
Of all the girls I've ever met,
You're the one I can't forget.
I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you best.

Good morning, Meekie. How was your visit with your Dad and Aunt yesterday?

We had a lot of rain yesterday. Thunderstorms are forecast for this afternoon and more rain moving in tonight.

If we get much more rain, we will all need fins. :)

We had a very nice visit. My wife got to meet 2 aunts that she hadn't
met before. One flew in from Seattle staying with her sister, and we
all went over to my 90 YO aunt's house, too. Really nice.

If we get much more rain, we will all need fins. :)

Oh, my.

Maybe it'll let up. :^)

If this doesn't help,



Then this must be the culprit ...

If we get much more rain, we will all need fins. :)
