“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered” (Psalm 32:1).
Among all the spiritual blessings that God reveals to the soul, few are as profound as the assurance of salvation through the forgiveness of sins. That is why so many sincere servants, in the midst of internal struggles and silent tears, long for this confirmation. They desire to feel that God has truly received them, that guilt has been removed, and that heaven is open to them. This cry is real, and many live this conflict in secret, waiting for the divine touch.
But God Himself has already shown the way: to turn away from disobedience and embrace the magnificent Law of the Lord, following the same sublime commandments that the saints, the prophets, the apostles, and the disciples obeyed. The Father has never confused His children—He made it clear that He reveals His plans to the obedient and that only these are sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. It is not something nebulous or mysterious: the way is clear, firm, and eternal.
Therefore, decide to walk the path of faithfulness. Make obedience your way of life, and the Father will confirm His presence by sending you to the Son at the right time. The soul that honors God’s commandments finds security in the future and peace in the present, because it knows it is walking in the right direction—the direction of the eternal Kingdom. Adapted from J.C. Philpot. Until tomorrow, if the Lord permits.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, thank You because You know my searches, my doubts, and my deepest longings. Teach me to walk with sincerity, without fleeing from the obedience You require.
My dear God, strengthen my heart so that I may live in faithfulness to Your commandments, just as the servants who came before us lived. May each step I take reveal my decision to honor You.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You for reminding me that forgiveness and salvation belong to those who surrender to Your will. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is a safe road for my soul. Your commandments are the light I wish to carry with me every day. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
