The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 96:1-13, “Sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
3 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name; Bring an offering and come into His courts.
9 Worship the LORD in holy attire; Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.”
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
12 Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 Before the LORD, for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.”

One of the problems with many Christians today is that they have forgotten the blessings of the LORD. The psalmist has not forgotten. His words encourage us to be joyous and to praise the LORD as we proclaim His wondrous works. We are to tell of His glory wherever we go.

The problem with many is that they trust in idols their hands have made. What man can make, man can destroy. Nor can idols make glad the people of the LORD’s creation! The LORD alone is worthy of glory and praise. It is He whom we are to worship, for it is the LORD alone who has blessed our lives. May we ever and always worship Him!

We would do well to take periodic inventory of what we have because of the LORD and His goodness. Our lives should be lived according to His will. He is coming back to earth to gather together those who are His people, that we may live with Him in Heaven forever! Are you one of His people? How do you become one? It is as simple as it is glorious! Pray to Him and tell Him your sins. Be honest, because He already knows all of your sins. Ask forgiveness for them. Trust Him to be your LORD and Savior. Then start Reading and studying His Word every day! And you will soon be sharing His love with those about you.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
