well let's just say that you're a blood-bought follower of Jesus
you know he has delivered you from sin
you belong to him
but you sin
and you continue to sin
and maybe just recently you've sinned
maybe it was because you just vented on someone whom you love
with a full vent of anger
or maybe you in the spirit of catching up about someone
you are actually gossiping about someone with your tongue
or maybe you've been lingering on a person or an image in your lust
sin is any thought
any feeling
any word or action
that grieves God
and though many of us in the room are blood-bought
we still continue to sin
how do you respond
to your sin
what happens in you
when you sin
against God
maybe
you become afraid
that was me in high school
I professed to be a follower of Jesus
but I was a miserable wreck
because every time I sinned
and I sinned a lot in high school
I thought Jesus would leave me
I was afraid
I was afraid every time I sinned
I would lose my salvation
or maybe you're not afraid
maybe it's more like you're ashamed
you're like Adam and Eve in the garden
after they sinned against God
and they're just hiding
they're hiding hoping that God is going to walk on by
he's not going to notice
maybe you're just trying to
hide from God
thinking that he doesn't notice your
anger or your pride
or your lust
we need help
we all need help
we need help when we sin
this morning God's word is holding out
help for those Christians
who are miserable
because of their sin
this summer we are doing a series called
Psalms for the Helping
and this morning we're in a psalm
Psalm 32
that is designed
to help us as followers of Jesus
find help in the Lord
when we sin against him
so here's the point of this morning's sermon
and the point of Psalm 32
for you to be happy in the Lord
after you sin
you must be honest with the Lord
about your sin
in order for you to be happy in the Lord
after you sin
you need to be honest with the Lord
about your sin
Psalm 32 has two sections
the first section is a claim
and we see this in verses 1 through 5
it's essentially David announcing good news
there is happiness awaiting those
who have sinned against the Lord
blessed is the one
whose transgression is forgiven
and not only is there a claim
but the second half of Psalm 32
is a call
a call to be honest with the Lord
verses 6 through 11
a call to all the godly
to offer a prayer of confession
confession to God
when he may be found
so there's these two sections
in order to be happy in the Lord
after you sin
you must be honest with the Lord
about your sin
so let's look at
verses 1 through 5
and the first half of Psalm 32
this claim
that there is true happiness
for those who have sinned
it's an announcement of good news
and this announcement comes
with a word of blessed
see that in verse 1
blessed is the one
whose transgression is forgiven
whose sin is covered
and then verse 2
blessed is the man
against whom the Lord
counts no iniquity
and in whose spirit
there is no deceit
that word blessed
simply means happy
joyful
glad hearted
and actually
if you look down
at verse 11
in Psalm 32
we have the outworking
of this blessedness
be glad in the Lord
and rejoice
O righteous
and shout for joy
all you upright in heart
so what Psalm 32
is it begins
with gladness
and it ends
with gladness
and in the middle
is how we're to find
our joy in God
after we sin
this state of happiness
is a personal happiness
blessed is the one
whose transgression
is forgiven
blessed is the man
or the woman
against whom the Lord
counts no iniquity
this is an announcement
of good news
to us
for those of us
who are sinning regularly
does anybody sin regularly
in the building
there's a lot more
on this side
than this side
I saw the double hand brother
we're all in need
of this joy
so let me ask the question
what according to
Psalm 32
is the source
of this blessedness
the cause
of this happiness
well before we go there
what does our culture say
is the source
and cause of happiness
all sorts of things
the latest techno gadget
entertainment
the next hook up
the next fix
the next raise
the next promotion
the next book to be read
the degree to be earned
I'm not denying
there's goodness
in some of these things
happiness
but if you're looking
for happiness
on Amazon
or on Instagram
and Netflix
you're going to find
a temporary happiness
what Psalm 32
is talking about
is ultimate happiness
ultimate joy
and so if we were to ask
David
please tell us
what is the source
of happiness
ultimate
true happiness
he tells us
in one and two
blessed
happy is the one
whose transgression
is forgiven
blessed is the one
whose sin is covered
blessed is the man
whose iniquity
God does not count
against him
there are three ways
of saying the same
thing
happy
is the one
in whom God
has cleared
of all wrongdoing
against him
there's where happiness
is
now you may be
hearing me say that
and you're thinking
like okay
I can get happy
about that
it's like a giant
phew
I am off the hook
but let me just
lay before you this
God's gracious
dealing with our sins
the forgiveness
he offers
of our transgressions
the covering over
of our sin
the not holding
our iniquity
against us
that removing
of sin
that is not
the end goal
it's a means
to an end
because true
happiness
isn't just
in being
freed from
your sin
sin is
removed
so that you
can enjoy
God
God removes
our sin
from our
relationship
so that we
can experience
a full
and vibrant
life
giving
relationship
with the
living God
that's the
blessedness
that's the
joy
the greatest
source of
happiness
that any
human being
can ever
experience
is a full
and vibrant
relationship
with the
living God
and that
only happens
when God
graciously
takes our
sin out of
the way
and he
removes it
as far as
the east
is from
the west
psalm
103
God
created us
to be in
a relationship
with him
in which
we delight
in him
this is what
I mean by
true happiness
is in the
Lord
just not having
your sins
forgiven
it's being
current with
the living
God
of experiencing
his loving
presence
to forgive
and to
convict
and to
protect
and to
lead
now the
question
becomes
how does
one experience
this kind
of joy
in the
Lord
how does
one experience
this blessedness
or happiness
this gladness
rejoicing
shouting for joy
in the Lord
how do you
get a hold
of that
well maybe
you didn't
notice
but look at
the last
line of
verse 2
and in
whose spirit
there is
no deceit
it's a little
kind of
out of
place
I mean
blessed is
the one
whose
transgression
is forgiven
whose sin
is covered
blessed is
the man
against whom
the Lord
counts no
iniquity
okay those
three things
I get
and then he
kind of
turns it
a little
different
direction
and in
whose spirit
there is
no deceit
what is
that all
about
well what
you need
to understand
is what
he's describing
is essential
to experiencing
the happiness
that the Lord
offers
after we
sin
it's stating
it negatively
and in
whose spirit
there is
no deceit
what does
that mean
well to put
it
put it
positively
we're talking
about blessed
is the one
in whose spirit
one is
completely
honest
with the
Lord
you see
true happiness
is not
in deceiving
yourself
about your
sin
but being
honest
with yourself
and God
about your
sin
every
blood
bought
Christian
will experience
some kind
of distance
with God
when we
have
unconfessed
sin
in our
life
in order
for you
to be
happy
in the
Lord
you've
got to
be honest
with the
Lord
you're not
to have
we're not
to have
any deceit
in our
inner beings
now what's
interesting
is where
David goes
now
in verse
three
four
and five
David
shares with
us a
personal
testimony
he starts
talking about
hey let
me
let me
show you
what this
spirit
without deceit
looks like
but what's
interesting is
he shares
with us a
journey
because he
definitely
doesn't start
there
look at verse
three
for when
I kept
silent
that's not
an example
of what it
means to
in verse
two
in whose
spirit
there is
no deceit
keeping
silent
about
something
is to
cover
something
it's not
being honest
so what
David is
about to
share with
us is
his testimony
of when
he was
withholding
sin from
God
unconfessed
sin
and then
he moves
to confessing
it and
then experiences
the joy
in the Lord
look at
this with
me
for when
I kept
silent
David is
humbly
admitting in
this psalm
a time
he had
sin
but he
kept
silent
about it
we don't
know if
he's referring
to his
sin against
God when
he had an
adulterous
affair with
Bathsheba
and had a
child and
then covered
up with
murder
we don't
know if
that's what
he's actually
talking about
or he's
talking about
some other
sin
but what
we do
know is
that he
is humbly
admitting
that he
did something
against God
and he
didn't want
to deal
with it
and he
was deceiving
himself
he wasn't
going to
God
there was
deceit
in his
spirit
let me ask
you this
have you
ever sinned
against
God
and kept
silent
about it
didn't want
to admit
it to
yourself
you didn't
want to
admit your
sin to
someone else
you definitely
didn't want
to admit
your sin
to God
again
you're like
Adam and
Eve
in the
garden
covering
yourself
over
hiding
in the
bushes
hoping
God
just
going
to
walk
by
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
unconfessed
sin
unconfessed
sin
is when
we
commit
sin
against
God
but we
do not
humbly
acknowledge
it
to
God
and
unconfessed
sin
encumbers
our
relationship
with the
living
God
let me
give you
an
illustration
at our
house
we have
a patio
in the
backyard
and we
love
sitting
out on
it
during
the
summertime
and having
meals
and just
hanging
out
but I
also have
my trash
barrels
back there
could you
imagine
what happens
if I
miss a
couple weeks
of the
trash
pickup
what happens
on that
back patio
the
relationships
that take
place
there
when the
trash
is being
put out
regularly
they
happen
there's
sweetness
there's
no
distraction
but when
you have
a buildup
of trash
in the
backyard
on a
hot
summer
days
that's
right
it gets
a little
tinky
and
distracting
the back
patio
doesn't get
used
relationships
are
encumbered
by the
trash
buildup
unconfessed
sin
is like
trash
building up
in your
backyard
there's a
provision
God has
made
the trash
truck
is coming
on Wednesday
it's ready
to be taken
away
it's as good
as gone
you just need
to get it
out there
but if it's
sitting there
it's going
to affect
your
relationship
with God
do you know
who are the
most miserable
people I
know
the most
miserable
people I
know
are Christians
who are
unwilling to
confess their
sins
to God
a miserable
Christian
is an
oxymoron
there should
be no
misery
among us
when it
comes to
our sin
some of
the most
miserable
times of
my own
walk with
the Lord
have been
times when
I have
kept
silent
about my
sin
I've just
let the
trash
build up
and it's
been building
up so much
I just
don't want
to deal
with it
so I
try to
ignore
it
but God
doesn't
ignore
our
unconfessed
sin
let's
look at
three and
four
for when
I kept
silent
God
does
something
out of
love
for David
there are
three things
that God
does
in response
to David
keeping
silence
he says
David says
my bones
wasted away
through my
turmoil
groaning
all day
long
through my
groaning
all day
long
he's
experiencing
inner
turmoil
here
as a
result
of him
not
confessing
his
sin
and then
we read
day and
night
your hand
was heavy
on me
God's
holy
hand
of
conviction
on
David
as he
kept
silent
about
his
sin
there's
an oppressive
feel
to that
God
not
letting
you
move
forward
in
peace
because
you need
to get
right
with
him
and
then
we
read
my
strength
was
dried
up
as
by
the
heat
of
the
summer
we
all
know
what
it's
like
to be
outside
during
the
summertime
you
put
a
hard
day
in
around
the
house
and
that
night
you
just
don't
want
to
do
anything
because
the
heat
of
the
summer
has
completely
drained
you
unconfessed
sin
has
a
draining
effect
on
your
body
on
you
we
are
symbiotic
people
we
have
a
relationship
between
our
bodies
and
spirits
let
me
ask
you
inner
turmoil
bones
wasting
away
God
bringing
the
heavy
his
hand
on
you
strength
being
dried
up
in
the
heat
of
summer
this
list
ness
do
you
think
any
of
those
describe
someone
who
is
happy
in
the
Lord
no
these
are
descriptions
of
misery
these
are
what
result
from
us
keeping
silent
about
our
sin
with
the
Lord
there's
this
interesting
word
at the
end
of
verse
four
my
strength
was
dried
up
as
by
the
heat
of
summer
you
see
the
word
selah
most
people
think
it
means
just
to
take
a
pause
so
let's
just
take
a
pause
there
are
people
in
this
room
who
are
experiencing
the
weight
of
God's
hand
the
loving
pain
of
conviction
God
because
you've
been
unwilling
to
be
honest
with
God
about
your
sin
to
come
clean
with
him
you feel
like
your
inner
life
is
wasting
away
you feel
burdened
you feel
like
you are
just
kind
of
listless
and you
know
what
it is
it's
God
in
his
love
bringing
you
to
an
end
to
yourself
he
loves
you
more
than
your
comfort
he
wants
you
to
experience
the
happiness
of being
in a
right
relationship
with
him
to
share
in
his
holiness
and
so
he's
willing
to
cause
you
some
discomfort
to
bring
you
to
that
point
of
being
honest
with
him
are
you
being
honest
with
the
Lord
are
you
current
with
him
about
your
sin
when
was
the
last
time
he
took
the
trash
out
what's
striking
about
this
personal
testimony
is
that
David
doesn't
stay
there
in
verse
3
and
4
he
moves
on
it's
good
news
for
us
in
verse
5
David
has
come
to
an
end
to
himself
God's
heavy
hand
has
humbled
him
and
he's
reached
a
point
now
where
he's
finally
saying
I'm
going
to
be
honest
with
the
Lord
and
in
verse
5
you
see
three
expressions
of
his
honesty
to
God
regarding
his
sin
I
acknowledge
my
sin
to
you
notice
it's
to
you
Lord
I
did
not
cover
my
iniquity
he's
not
covering
it
up
I
will
confess
I
said
I
will
confess
my
transgressions
to
the
Lord
to
the
Lord
he
is
coming
clean
all
these
three
expressions
are
ways
of
describing
of
being
open
and
honest
with
your
sin
to
the
Lord
what's
interesting
is that
these
there are
three
words
in
verse
five
sin
iniquity
and
transgressions
it's
the same
three
words
that show
up in
verses
one
and
two
sin
iniquity
transgressions
what's
interesting
is
there's
a
difference
and the
difference
is
the word
my
I
acknowledged
my
sin
to
you
I
did
not
cover
my
iniquity
I
said
I
will
confess
my
transgressions
to
the
Lord
do
you
see
what's
going
on
here
God
in
his
gracious
mercy
has
brought
David
to
an
end
to
himself
and
now
David
is
being
honest
with
God
and
owning
his
sin
taking
full
responsibility
for
it
yes
it
was
it
was
my
sin
against
you
God
I
missed
the
mark
yes
it
was
it
was
my
iniquity
I
willfully
chose
to
go over
the curb
of your
law
and away
from your
path
that's
my
doing
I
take
responsibility
for
that
it's
I
confess
my
transgression
I
rebelled
against
your
authority
it
was
my
choice
he's
taking
full
responsibility
to it
he's
being
honest
with
the
Lord
about
it
you
will
not
be
happy
in
the
Lord
until
you're
completely
honest
with
the
Lord
about
your
sin
David
is
modeling
for us
a confession
of sin
he's
modeling
for us
verse
two
this
in
whose
spirit
there
is
no
deceit
and
you
know
what
I
find
really
encouraging
about
this
it
took
him
a
while
it
took
him
some
time
and
some
pain
to
get
to
the
point
of
him
owning
his
sin
and
I
think
all
of
us
in
the
room
can
identify
with
this
delay
of
saying
I've
committed
sin
and
then
it
takes
some
time
to
realize
oh
no
I
really
did
sin
against
God
scholars
believe
that
when it
came
to
David
sin
against
God
by
his
adultery
Bathsheba
into
finally
confessing
that
it was
about
a
year
to
when
he
said
yes
I
have
sinned
to
Nathan's
rebuke
a
year
what I
love about
verse 5
is that
as soon
as
David
owns
his
sin
it's
met
with
forgiveness
I
acknowledge
my
sin
I
did
not
cover
my
iniquity
I
will
confess
my
transgressions
and
you
forgave
the
iniquity
of
my
sin
you
forgave
me
this
is
the
testimony
the
claim
there
is
happiness
for
us
in
the
Lord
after
we
sin
and
here's
the
testimony
he
didn't
start
happy
but
he
ended
happy
when
he
confessed
his
sin
to
the
Lord
he
forgave
him
and
do
you
know
what
the
basis
of
this
forgiveness
was
for
David
he
sins
against
the
Lord
and
you
know
what
he
had
to
do
according
to
the
law
at
that
time
he
had
to
sacrifice
a
goat
or
a
bull
as
a
goat
as
a
guilt
offering
on
the
altar
blood
needed
to
be
shed
forgiveness
promised
brothers
and
sisters
do
you
not
realize
we
have
a
way
better
promise
we
have
a
way
better
sacrifice
the
lamb
of
God
Jesus
he
sacrificed
himself
for
our
sin
David
confesses
his
sin
and
God
forgives
him
based
upon
sacrifice
and
today
1st
John
1
9
if
we
confess
our
sins
he
is
faithful
and
just
to
forgive
us
our
sins
and
to
cleanse
us
from
all
unrighteousness
based
on the
sacrifice
of
Jesus
what
I'm
hoping
you're
seeing
so
far
is
this
unconfessed
sin
results
in
misery
confession
of
sin
results
in
happiness
blessed
is
the
man
against
whom
the
Lord
counts
no
iniquity
do
you
know
how
you
need
to
think
about
the
cross
of
Jesus
Christ
the
cross
of
Jesus
Christ
is
the
source
of
our
forgiveness
it
is
a
fountain
ever
flowing
with
grace
to
forgive
again
and again
it
never
gets
old
he
never
runs
out
at the
end of
verse
five
is
another
selah
so
let's
just
pause
brother
sister
do you
have
unconfessed
sin
in your
life
if you
do
I know
you're
miserable
because
I've
been
there
too
you
don't
have
to
be
this
claim
is
true
there's
happiness
blessedness
waiting
for you
all you
need
to do
is
obey
the
call
and we
see that
on the
last half
of
Psalm
32
the
call
there's
the
claim
there's
happiness
for those
who have
sinned
and then
there's
the
call
so be
honest
with
God
about
your
sin
in
verse
six
we read
the word
therefore
and if
you're a
student
of the
Bible
you know
that when
you come
across
the word
therefore
you should
ask a
question
what is
the
therefore
and this
therefore
is connecting
it's connecting
the claim
verses
one through
five
to the
call
of
verses
six
through
eleven
the
claim
Christian
you can
be
happy
in the
Lord
after
your
sin
and
the
call
so be
honest
with
the
Lord
about
your
sin
in
verse
six
we read
therefore
let
everyone
who
is
godly
offer
prayer
to
you
at
a
time
when
you
may
be
found
it's
like
David
is
in
the
middle
of
the
congregation
and
he's
praying
to
God
for
all
to
hear
and
he's
saying
let
everyone
who
is
godly
in
whose
spirit
there
is
no
deceit
let
everyone
who
is
godly
offer
prayer
to
you
at
a
time
when
you
may
be
found
what
kind
of
prayer
contextually
it's
a
prayer
of
confession
that's
what
David
just
modeled
let
everyone
in
whose
spirit
is
no
deceit
let
them
offer
prayers
of
confession
to
God
when
he
may
be
found
what
does
that
mean
what
David
is
getting
at
there
is
a
timeliness
in
responding
to
being
convicted
by
God's
heavy
hand
and
then
confessing
it
to
God
don't
delay
if
you're
in
the
room
this
morning
and
you're
becoming
more
and
more
aware
as
we've
been
praying
that
you
are
becoming
more
aware
of
sin
that
you've
committed
against
God
don't
delay
confess
it
to
him
don't
ignore
his
proddings
don't
be
like
a
mule
or
like
a
horse
that
doesn't
have
understanding
and
that
just
kind
of
resisting
don't
do
that
offer
your
prayers
now
confess
to
him
find
joy
in
his
forgiveness
what's
interesting
about
this
is
where
David
goes
David
says
let
everyone
offer
prayers
of
confession
while
God
while
you
may
be
found
and
then
he
aims
us
somewhere
and
it's
kind
of
surprising
look
at
verse
at
the
end
of
verse
six
he
says
therefore
let
everyone
who is
godly
offer
prayer
to
you
at
a
time
when
you
may
be
found
surely
in
the
rush
of
great
waters
they
shall
not
reach
him
what
he's
talking
about
is
in
the
ancient
near
east
there
are
these
dry
river
beds
well
I
guess
in
the
near
east
now
too
there
are
these
dry
river
beds
called
wadis
w-a-d-i
and
when there's
a torrential
rain pour
there is
this
flooding
effect
and if
you're
standing
in a
wadi
when
this
torrential
rain
happens
you're
going to
get
rushed
off
by the
rush
of
waters
but
what
he's
saying
here
is
if
you're
godly
if
you
belong
to
the
lord
if
you're
trusting
in
him
you
don't
need
to
fear
that
kind
of
onslaught
because
god's
a
protector
and
then
he
goes
into
personal
testimony
again
look
what
he
says
you
are
a
hiding
place
for
me
verse
seven
cory
ten
boone
you
are
my
hiding
place
that's
where this
is
from
you
preserve
me
from
trouble
you
surround
me
with
shouts
of
deliverance
three
expressions
of
personal
protection
hiding
place
preserve
me
from
trouble
you
surround
me
with
shouts
of
deliverance
the
walls
of
protection
of
around
me
are
glad
tidings
of
deliverance
it's
god
protecting
me
so
david
calls
us
to
offer
prayer
to
him
of
confession
to
god
and
then
he
says
your
god
is
a
protector
and
then
in
verse
eight
he
says
it's
god
speaking
this
is
god
speaking
to
david
god
says
you're
my
hiding
place
you
preserve
me
you
surround
me
god
says
to
david
i
will
instruct
you
and
teach
you
in
the
way
you
should
go
i
will
counsel
you
with
my
eye
upon
you
so
not
only
is
god
a
present
protector
he
is
a
present
guide
so
offer
your
prayers
of
confession
to
him
do
you
know
what
this
does
it
should
assure
you
that
when
you
confess
your
sin
to
the
lord
you
don't
need
to
be
afraid
of
him
he's
not
against
you
he's
for
you
he's
your
protector
and
he's
your
guide
a
little
side
note
that
line
that
says
i
will
instruct
you
and
teach
you
in
the
way
you
should
go
what's
interesting
is
that
word
iniquity
that's
showed
up
twice
already
that
word
means
to
purposefully
deviate
from
God's
path
it's
like
you're
driving
over
the
curbs
of
God's
law
and
here
we
have
after
one
confesses
God
saying
hey
I
will
instruct
you
and
teach
you
on
the
path
that
you
need
to
go
on
my
path
the
path
of
blessing
the
path
where
I
am
present
and
fullness
of joy
exists
Psalm
16
the
warning
be
not like
a horse
or a
mule
without
understanding
which
must
be
curbed
with
bitten
bridle
or it
will
not
stay
near
to
you
have
you
ever
seen
a
picture
of
a
guy
trying
to
lead
a
mule
but
that
mule
is
sitting
back
on
its
haunches
pulling
back
not
willing
to
go
don't
respond
that
way
don't
resist
God
in
your
pride
go
to
him
offer
prayers
of
confession
while
he
may
be
found
he
is
your
protector
he
is
your
guide
he
will
counsel
you
with
his
eye
upon
you
it's
a
picture
of
intimacy
and
presence
you
know
what the
summary
is
you
have
no
good
reason
to
stay
silent
about
your
sin
no
good
reason
and
you
have
multiple
reasons
to
confess
your
sin
to
God
he's
a
loving
God
who
welcomes
your
confession
wants
you
to
share
in
the
joy
of
knowing
him
real
quick
verse
10
we
have
a
concluding
summary
the
wicked
and
those
who
trust
two
ways
to
live
the
wicked
don't
trust
in
the
Lord
they
persist
in
deceiving
themselves
and
they're
so
surrounded
by
sorrow
but
steadfast
love
surrounds
the one
who
trusts
in
the
Lord
the
one
in
whom
there's
no
deceit
the
one
who
is
glad
in
the
Lord
the
righteous
the
upright
in
heart
those
who
are
blessed
because
their
sins
have
been
forgiven
they're
surrounded
by the
steadfast
love
of
the
Lord
and
out
of
that
experience
comes
gladness
and
rejoicing
and
shouts
for
joy
because
those
of
us
who
know
we've
been
forgiven
of
our
sin
again
are
experiencing
God's
loving
presence
I'm
going to
wrap
this up
but I
want
you to
say
this
godliness
is
not
the
absence
of
sin
in
your
life
godliness
is
honestly
dealing
with
your
sin
to
God
to
regularly
confessing
it to
him
and
finding
joy
let me
give you
four words
in
conclusion
how to
apply
this
the
application
is
go to
the
Lord
and
confess
your
sin
go to
him
find
happiness
be
honest
with
him
here's
how
you
can
be
honest
with
him
ask
God
to
search
you
Psalm
139
23
and
24
see
if
there
be
any
grievous
way
in
you
that
delights
God
what
you're
saying
is
God
I
want
to
share
in
your
holiness
I
don't
want
there
to
be
anything
between
us
show
me
if
there
is
and
when
he
does
because
God
is
a
living
and
loving
God
when
he
does
show
you
your
sin
you
confess
it
1st
John
1
9
if
we
confess
our
sins
that
word
confess
in
Greek
means
same
word
you
call
it
what
God
calls
it
so
instead
of
saying
okay
I'm
just
frustrated
you
say
to
God
I
was
sinfully
angry
instead
of
saying
oh
we
were
just
catching
up
about
Jim
you
say
oh
God
I
was
gossiping
about
Jim
instead
of
saying
yeah
I
was
unusually
attracted
to
that
woman
you
confess
I
was
lusting
after
her
you
call
it
sin
ask
God
to
search
you
confess
it
call
it
what
God
calls
it
and
when
you
do
you
call
it
forgiven
if
we
confess
our
sins
he's
faithful
and
just
to
forgive
us
our
sins
and
to
cleanse
us
from
all
unrighteousness
forgiveness
and
that
forgiveness
is based
upon
the
shed
blood
of
Jesus
the
fountain
that
keeps
giving
keeps
forgiving
search
confess
call
it
forgiven
and
then
rejoice
Psalm
32
11
be
glad
in
the
Lord
and
rejoice
O
righteous
and shout
for joy
all you
upright
in
heart
you
need
not
fear
God
you
need
not
be
ashamed
you
just
need
to
be
honest
with
him
and
there
you'll
find
joy
for
your
soul
we
looked
at
Psalm
32
I
hope
it
has
helped
you
because
you
may
sin
this
afternoon
and
when
you
do
remember
the
claim
and
remember
the
call
you
can
be
happy
in
the
Lord
after
your
sin
by
being
honest
with
the
Lord
about
your
sin
let's
pray
God
would
you
use
Psalm
32
to
press
your
will
into
our
hearts
and
I
pray
now
God
that
you
would
search
us
and
know
us
that
you
would
reveal
any
wicked
way
any
grievous
way
in
us
so
that
we
can
confess
it
to
you
and
experience
the
fullness
of
restoration
of
being
in a
life
giving
relationship
with
you
God
we
ask
that
you
would
make
us
holy
people
and
happy
people
we
ask
this
in the
name
of
Jesus
Amen
