The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 86:11-13, “Teach me Thy way, O LORD; I will walk in Thy truth;

Unite my heart to fear Thy name.

12 I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart,

And will glorify Thy name forever.

13 For Thy lovingkindness toward me is great,

And Thou hast delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.”

Exactly where David was in his spiritual journey with the LORD,

we do not know. What we do know is that he was teachable.

He allows that he does not know it all, and he promises that

He will abide by what the LORD tells him. David also admits

that his heart is often divided. “Unite my heart,” he says.

We know how that is. We desire to do something that we

know is wrong; but, simultaneously, we desire to do the LORD’s

will. Sometimes we seek to justify doing wrong, telling ourselves

that we can use that “wrong” to do good. That never works.

David promises “to walk in” God’s truth; he promises to
“give thanks” to the LORD and “to glorify (His) Name forever.”

What a challenge that is to us!! God’s love for us is overwhelming!

His lovingkindness is indescribably supreme! And His salvation

has guaranteed us a place with Him in Eternity. Have we learned

something of how great God is? Then, we should praise Him forever!

We love you, but not as fervently as the LORD does,
