The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 84:11-12, “For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He

withhold from those who walk uprightly. 12 O LORD of hosts,

How blessed is the man who trusts in Thee!”

Did you ever have someone make a promise to you –and

then break it? Did you ever make a promise to someone

and then break it? Well, we never have that problem with

the LORD! What He promises, He keeps! The Psalmist

calls Him “a sun and shield.” He is both provider and

protector. He possesses the power to provide everything

we need, and simultaneously, He protects us from everything

that would harm or destroy us.

What does He provide? Grace and glory. He favors us (grace)

Because we are His, just as our parents favor us because we

belong to them. He honors us (glory) because we are His.

Who is so blessed as an upright Christian? Yet, we may not

receive everything we want; but we will receive everything

we need –everything that is beneficial to us and everything

that ultimately brings glory to Christ. But we must walk (live)

uprightly (blamelessly, without defect). How blessed are we

when we put full faith and trust in the LORD Jesus Christ!

Who is more faithful to a promise than He? Who has more

spiritual, physical, or emotional resources than He? Thus,

what we ultimately receive is exactly what we deserve.

We love you and pray for you every, single day,
