The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 13:5-6, “But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;

My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 6 I will sing to the LORD,

Because He has dealt bountifully with me.”

The psalmist’s life was surrounded by trouble, just as we often

discover our lives are. It’s interesting, though regrettable, that

people who have nothing to do with God, cry “Oh, GOD!” when

devastation comes their way. The psalmist trusts in the LORD’s

lovingkindness, and rejoices in His salvation. I’m thinking of a

small child standing at the edge of the water. The child’s father

stands in the water and beckons the child to jump to him. The

child thinks, then trusts, then jumps into the arm of its father!

When the exercise of faith is complete, the child rejoices that

it has been saved by the loving arms of its father. Then the child,

laughs, somewhat like the psalmist singing, knowing that the

father has adequately saved the child. The trust grows, and the

child achieves more and more bountiful things from its father.

So it is with us. We trust the LORD, our Heavenly Father; He

proves Himself more than adequate to our needs, so we trust

Him again and again, and rejoice in His rewards.

Trust Him today, is our prayer for you. Trust Him in everything!

He is able and willing to rescue us all from surrounding trouble.
