The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Haggai 1:5, “Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Consider your ways!’”

Acts 7 is a brief summary of Israel’s history up to Stephen’s time. You

should read it slowly and carefully, as should all Americans. What kept

coming to my mind were the words of the Prophet Haggai, “’Consider your ways!’”

The Jews of Stephen’s day murdered him for telling them the truth they did not

want to hear. Had Haggai been there, he might have said, “Look at what the

Jews are doing and saying”; instead, the echo of his words are the same,

“’Consider your ways!’” –our own ways. ~ Most of my life is behind me; most

of yours is ahead of you. Our world –even our nation—is relying upon its own

way. You and I must rely upon the way of the LORD! We must study

God’s Word more carefully. We must pray more often and more sincerely.

We must be ready to share with the lost the way of salvation in Christ. We

are living in desperate times. Only the way of the LORD can save us.

Every blessing of the LORD is yours (I Cor. 3:21),
