The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Samuel 22:19-22, “They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

But the LORD was my support. 20 “He also brought me forth into a

broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me. 21 The

LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; According

to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 22 “For I have

kept the ways of the LORD, And have not acted wickedly against my God.”

This entire 22nd chapter is David’s praise to the LORD. Calamity is

always before us! Satan seeks to unravel our spiritual lives and

cause us to disregard the LORD. Yet, the LORD is always our support.

Why does he support us? He delights in us because we are His people.

He rescues us; then He rewards us; He gives us what we deserve

because we hold firmly to His ways and turn away from evil that seeks

to bring us down. But what about that “broad place?” It is a place of

rest, relaxation and a place of opportunities to honor and glorify Him!

The more spiritually-minded we are, the greater is His use of us. And

to be His and do His work is why we were saved. May He ever and

always rescue us from evil and reward us to His glory!

Love and prayers always,
