Psalm 32

What does God do with the sins comitted by those who receive his grace? David begins this psalm with an explanation od the operation of God's garce. The sins are forgiven. The humbled heart before God receives more than mercy it receives the forgivness of God. That forgiveness covers the sins so that from God's perspective they are no longer visible. Since the sins are invisible then there is no accounting of them. The "ledger" is empty; there's nothing on record. All this happens because the heart of the penetant sinner is not trying to pull anything over on God. That soul has humbled themselves and is resting on their faith in God's willingness and ability to forgive sins. The faithful will not be disapointed.
It took me about 2 minutes to read this psalm.
