The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 138:7-8, “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me;

Thou wilt stretch forth Thy hand against the wrath of my enemies,

And Thy right hand will save me.

8 The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Thy lovingkindness,

O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands.”

The utter confidence of the Psalmist is undeniable. He does not attempt

to understand his trouble or complain about it. He simply turns it over

to the LORD, in Whom he has confidence. He just tells the LORD what

he believes: “Thy right hand will save me. The LORD will accomplish

what concerns me.” It is not necessary to spell out his difficulties. He

knows the LORD knows what they are, and He will attend to them with

His all-sufficient power.

We do spend a lot of time and energy worrying about things, don’t we?

We need not do it, because He is going to work them to our good in

His own way and time. Nehemiah said, “…our God turned the curse

Into a blessing” (Neh. 13:2b). He still does things like that today.

Trust and obey; for there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus; but to trust and obey.

Our love and prayers follow you day-by-day,
