The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 145:17-19, “The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds.

18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will

save them.”

May the LORD richly bless you today; and may He speak to you

through the message your pastor will deliver.

We love you unceasingly,

Dear Grands,

Psalm 138:7-8, “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;

You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

And Your right hand will save me. 8 The LORD will accomplish what

concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake

the works of Your hands.”

Trouble was never the LORD’s plan; still, it exists all around us.

Our hope for deliverance lies not in ourselves, but in the LORD.

Notice how many times the Psalmist say, “Your hand.” Deliverance

is the delight of the LORD. He “will accomplish what concerns [us].”

God bless you abundantly! We love you unceasingly!

Dear Grands,

Psalm 119:132-136, “Turn to me and be gracious to me,

After Your manner with those who love Your name.

133 Establish my footsteps in Your Word, And do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.

134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts.

135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.

136 My eyes shed streams of water, Because they do not keep Your law.”

There are always those who want to hinder the ministry of the LORD.

Satan works through believers just as he works through unbelievers.

Some, whom we assess to be believers, may not be true believers.

The Psalmist looks to the LORD for his deliverance, as should we.

He also weeps, but not for himself. He weeps for those who do not

follow the teachings of the LORD.

We love you and pray for you daily,

Dear Grands,

Psalm 118:8, “It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man.”

Interestingly enough, this is the central verse of the Bible. Were you to

start counting verses from Genesis 1:1 and from Revelation 22:21, you

would arrive at our verse for today. When storms come, we take refuge

in the safest place we can find. When the storms of life come, there is

no place safer than in Jesus. Always trust Him to protect you.

We love you bunches and bunches,

Dear Grands,

Psalm 116:1-2, “I love the LORD, because He hears My voice and my supplications.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.”

Loving the LORD because of what He does is not the only reason to love Him.

But it is an excellent reason nevertheless. Just imagine: The Creator of the

entire universe (thousands of galaxies!) actually listens to us when we pray!

I have had some notably important people respond to my emails; yet none

of them compare to the LORD! Make prayer a priority in your life!

Love abundant to you all,

Nana & Dado III
