The Grands Letter (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on April 24, 2017 8:08 am (CST)Dear Grands,
Psalm 119:9-11, “How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to Your Word.
10 With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me wander from Your commandments.
11 Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.”
Our view of life should parallel that of the psalmist.
Three simple words encompass all he has said in
these verses: purity, pursuit and purpose.
The Word of the LORD is pure and it purifies us
as we read and meditate upon it. We cannot
approach it, however, in a cavalier manner; we
must pursue it vigorously. A casual, infrequent,
hurried approach will not do. We must savor it,
as we would a delicious and succulent meat.
The purpose overall is that we might not sin against
the LORD. Sin is diametrically opposed to God.
Satan wants to fill our minds with rubbish! Jesus
died to rescue us from that! We discredit His
death when we meditate upon sinful acts. Some
people do not have what we have: the ability to
refuse Satan’s filth! The LORD has provided us a
way of escape. It is His Word! Read it often!
Love and prayers always,
Nana & Dado III
