Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 32-37.

There is no greater blessing than to have our sins forgiven, however we cannot experience forgiveness until we acknowledge our sins.  We will continue to suffer for our sins until we admit to ourselves and to God that we did wrong, when we confess our sins, when we admit that they were indeed sins, God will forgive us and give us healing.  Then He will instruct us in how we should behave and direct our way to bring glory to Him and thus happiness to ourselves.  As we learn to do His will joy will fall upon us and we will rejoice in Him.  I read these psalms and I try to communicate the message they speak to me, but I find myself falling short of doing so.  Then I come to this phrase in Psalm 34, “Taste and see that the Lord is good:”.  Reading that I realize that no matter how eloquently I speak of Him, you will not understand the message until you experience it for yourself.  So, I strive to convince those I know to take that leap of faith to put their trust in God.  Sometimes I lose hope of those for whom I care deeply ever accepting His love, but this psalm contains a message of hope there as well:

For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.

This reminds me that I came to Him because His Spirit called me, when His Spirit calls them, they will also answer.  I know that I will never bring my friends to the Lord, but perhaps His Spirit will move through me to bring them to Himself.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
