Day 131 – Contemplation

Psalm 32:1 (A Psalm of David. A Contemplation.) Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom JEHOVAH does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit, is no deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning throughout the day. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality turned into the drought 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 JEHOVAH,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 6 For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to You in a time when You may be found; in a flood of great waters, they will not come near him.

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

 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. 9 Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. 10 Many sorrows will be to the wicked; but he who trusts in JEHOVAH, mercy will surround him. 11 Be glad in JEHOVAH and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, you upright in heart!

Do you think about your life, where you would be if you chose a different path?

David contemplated his life and realized how much JEHOVAH protected him, forgave him, and hid him when trouble sought him. In his contemplation, JEHOVAH spoke to his spirit and told him He would instruct him and guide him. He also told David what He would do to the wicked who didn’t trust in Him.

Do you become quiet before Yeshuwa and think about your life before you accepted Him as Savior and Lord? Where would you be if you had not accepted Him? What would your life be like? Do you see His blessings in your life and see how Yeshuwa provided everything you need because you trust Him?

Those who don’t accept Yeshuwa as Savior and Lord, don’t have the blessings you have. They don’t have His forgiveness because they don’t trust Him. However, you have His blessings. Therefore, you can shout for joy and rejoice in your salvation.

Spend time today in worship and praise for everything Yeshuwa brought you through. Rejoice and be glad because you belong to Him.

Let’s pray: Father, I give You praise for my salvation and forgiveness. Thank you for hiding me in You when Satan comes against me to destroy my relationship with You. Bless me because I love You and trust You in everything I do. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
