The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Proverbs 3:1-4, “My son, do not forget my teaching,

But let your heart keep my commandments;

2 For length of days and years of life

And peace they will add to you.

3 Do not let kindness and truth leave you;

Bind them around your neck,

Write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 So you will find favor and good repute In the sight

of God and man.”

I was recounting some of my high school studies

the other day. And it is amazing how much I have

forgotten. I made good grades then, but now…?

It is easy to forget, to let things slip. That’s why

we need to review things we’ve learned. Especially,

is that true of spiritual things. Solomon admonishes

us to “bind around (our necks)” those spiritual

things we’ve learned and “write them on the tablet

of (our hearts).” Do you remember what I said

about how the Bible keeps repeating the things we

need to learn? It’s so true! And it has its own

rewards. When you learn the teachings of the

LORD, we “find favor” with Him and have “good

repute” (insight, understanding) of His ways and

the ways of others.

May our LORD richly reward you with His wisdom,
