The Grands Letter (Psa 31) (GLJ)

Psalm 31:23-24, “O love the LORD, all you His godly ones! The LORD preserves the faithful,
And fully recompenses the proud doer.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.”
What do you do when you have a question, but not the answer? The tougher question is, What do you say when someone asks you a question for which you have no answer? There’s a very simple solution to each of these queries: you ask the One who knows! You research His answer in the Bible!
“But,” you say, “my question isn’t a biblical question.” It may not appear to be, but in all truth, it is. Sometimes we become so encumbered with the views of mortal men and their solutions, that we tell ourselves that they have all the answers because they present themselves as possessed of “great knowledgeable intellect.” If we believe man instead of believing God, we place ourselves on the rocky road to ruin.
The psalmist makes a strong case when he instructs us to “love the LORD.” He even allows that those who do are acknowledged by the LORD as His “godly ones.” For it is the LORD who preserves the faithful. If anyone claims otherwise, the LORD views him as “proud,” and renders to him what a fool deserves!
Therefore, those who truly belong to the LORD are encouraged to “be strong, and let (their) hearts take courage.” There is nothing to fear; no one will attack us without His knowledge. No trouble will ultimately suppress us! Why? Because the LORD is our Hope, our Protector, our Redeemer! Nothing is stronger than He! If fear still oppresses you, you have yet to allow Him to fully ocupy your life. May He show you His protection as He instructs your mind with answers to questions unsaved men will never know until they come to know Him as their LORD and Savior! Start tomorrow with bright hope! He is alive and always ready!
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
