Living Bible ]d-bp¶p :

"What happiness for those whose guilt has been

forgiven! What joys when sins are covered over! What

relief for those who have confessed their sins and God

40

has cleared their record." Psalms 32 : 1 - 2

There was a time when I wouldn’t admit what a sinner

I was! But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled

my days with frustration. All day and all night your hand

was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water on

a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and

stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, "I will

confess them to the Lord." And you forgave me! All my

guilt is gone. Psalms 32 : 3 - 5

"This is God’s message to Zerubhabel: 'Not by might, nor by

power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts - you will succeed

because of My Spirit, though you are few and weak,' Therefore no

mountain, however high, can stand before Zerubhabel! For it will

flatten out before him! And Zerubhabel will finish building this temple

with mighty shouts of thanks giving for God’s mercy, declaring that all

was done by grace alone.''
