The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 123:1-2, “To Thee I lift up my eyes, O Thou who art enthroned in the heavens!

2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid

to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until He shall be

gracious to us.”

What do you need? How important is it? Where do you go for the satisfaction of

That need? There is only one Person to whom you can go with the guarantee of

utter satisfaction: “To Thee…” the psalmist says, to the LORD, who is abides in

the heavens! Don’t children look to their parents when they have needs? Doesn’t

everyone look to someone in authority over him, asking that he satisfy the need?

Those who do not recognize the LORD as their Lord (i.e., those who are not saved),

look to themselves. But what we appropriate to ourselves is never satisfactory. If

it were, would we ever have to look to anyone else? Some needs are simply far

out of our human reach. And our failure to reach them only frustrates us further.

We simply have no answer within ourselves. We must look to the LORD!

“But, I’ve asked and asked and there’s no answer,” you say. The word until reminds

us that the One in Authority directs the timing. Like a physician, He knows what we

need and when we should receive it. His timing is always accurate! Patience teaches

us trust. Just remember that our eyes must always be looking to the LORD our God.

Trust and obey,

For there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus,

But to trust and obey.

We love you and pray earnestly for you every day,
