The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Micah 1:2-7, “Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth and all it contains, and let the Lord GOD be a witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
3 For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His place. He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 The mountains will melt under Him and the valleys will be split, like wax before the fire, like water poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for the rebellion of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the rebellion of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? What is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 For I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the open country, planting places for a vineyard. I will pour her stones down into the valley and will lay bare her foundations.
7 All of her idols will be smashed, all of her earnings will be burned with fire and all of her images I will make desolate, for she collected them from a harlot’s earnings, and to the earnings of a harlot they will return.”

Did you ever make a promise you didn’t keep? “I’ll take care of everything,” the
salesman said. Yet, in reality, he did nothing. We’ve all experienced someone like that. Sometimes more often than we care to remember.

I can recall numerous times hearing lectures from a well-known theologian. When I asked if he would share with me a copy of his lectures, he replied, “Sure, give me your address.” I never missed receiving what he said he would send. His word was his bond.

The prophet Micah assured the people of his day that the LORD would indeed be a witness against them, for they had rebelled against the LORD!

As I read of Micah’s promise that the LORD would abolish Samaria’s cities, I was quickly and clearly reminded that He could do the same to us unless we
repent and do so quickly! The unexpected destruction of the Twin Towers in New York City in 2001 should give us fair warning. If an enemy can damage us
so heavily in such a short time, what could the LORD’s destruction of us be?

The prophet Isaiah believed what the prophet Micah had said, when he wrote,
“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near” (Isa. 55:6). Even the very thought of “bitcoin” replacing the dollar should send shivers down our spines! We have but One Person who can deliver us from
evil and destruction: Jesus Christ! If you haven’t trusted Him as your LORD and Savior, do it now! Time is running out! You are in my prayers.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
