The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 1:1-2, “How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.”

There are always two roads which offer us the way to travel. There is the road

of ease and there is the road of challenge. There is the road of peace and the

road of conflict. There is the road of faith and the road of sight.

There are always two kinds of people who stand ready to advise us: the wicked

and self-serving and the righteous and loving. Both promise us prosperity, but only

one delivers counsel that leads to true blessing.

The one who is blessed is the one who delights in the LORD and in His teachings.

He lives in the Word of God and abides by it to the best of his ability. He does not

pretend to understand all the ways of the LORD’s leading or all that He sets forth

in His Holy Word. But his heart is for the LORD! He rejects the counsel of all who

reject the LORD’s Word. He chooses the LORD’s loving and tender counsel, knowing

that He knows what is best.

It is not always easy to walk in the ways of the LORD. The road is not always lighted

so that we can see the way clearly. But His Word gives us the confidence that His

Way leads upward to a Righteous City free from all suffering and pain. And in that

City is all that is sufficient for our every need.

We seek to live and abide in that Word and pray you will, also.
