Psalms 85:2. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
What a sweet subject for our meditation we found, last Lord’s-day morning, in those words of the psalmist, "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities"! Now, if God has indeed blotted out the sin of his people, at a plea this is to use with him for all that we still need from him! Will he pardon us, and yet leave us to perish? Will he pay such a ransom price as the blood of his well-beloved Son to set us free from the bondage of sin, and then will he not help us even to the end? Will he not lift up our heavy heart, and revive our drooping spirit? Ah! that he will if we know how to plead his former mercy, and to urge upon him that, because he has forgiven our iniquity, and covered all our sin, he should now heal our diseases, redeem our life from destruction, and crown us with loving-kindness and tender mercies.
