The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 37:4-5, “Delight yourself in the LORD;

And He will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD,

Trust also in Him, and He will do it.”

We live in difficult days. Every day seems to

bring forth more trouble. Many people worry;

they are anxious and fearful as to what will

come upon us. But the psalmist has a different

attitude. He gives us three things to do in the

midst of trouble and uncertainty. First, “delight”

in the LORD. Put Him above all your troubles.

Focus on Him! Be positive! Remember that He

created the heavens and the Earth. And He did

is “out of nothing!” What are a few, minor

troubles to Him? Second, “commit” yourself to

Him. We did this when we were saved. We

signed on to His service. We committed ourselves,

and we must not back down on that commitment.

Third, we are to “trust” Him completely. He has

the plan –the only plan—that will defeat the

troubles we face. What are His promises? He

promises to give us the desires of our hearts.

We’re not talking about trinkets here. The desire

of one who is in trouble is deliverance, not

tinker toys. Further, He promises to complete

what He starts! He completed His creation of

the heavens and the Earth, of man and beasts.

What’s a mere skirmish to Him? He always wins!

And we always win –when we trust in Him and

remain committed.

We pray and trust the LORD for your protection,
