The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Exodus 15:1-8, “Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said,
‘I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted;
The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
2 ‘The LORD is my strength and song,
‘And He has become my salvation;
‘This is my God, and I will praise Him;
‘My father’s God, and I will extol Him.
3 “The LORD is a warrior;
The LORD is His name.
4 “Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
He has cast into the sea;
And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 “The deeps cover them; They went down into the depths like a
stone.
6 “Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power,
Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.
7 “And in the greatness of Your excellence;
You overthrow those who rise up against You;
You send forth Your burning anger, and it consumes them as
chaff.
8 “At the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up,
The flowing waters stood up like a heap;
The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.’”

Most of you, who will read the lines above, will immediately
recognize the passage as the historical reference of the Egyptian
army being drowned in the Red Sea, as they endeavored to over-
come the Children of Israel, who were escaping in their effort to
reach the Promised Land.

All praise, however, for the Israelites’ safety goes to the LORD, by
Whose direction and protection they reached the other side. It is
much the same with us today. As a small boy, I jerked loose from my mother’s hand and dashed into the face of an on-coming car.
Miraculously, the Hand of the LORD was my deliverence!

How many of us can recount near-disasterous experiences that
could have snuffed out our lives, except that the LORD’s Hand
reached out and delivered us?

If calculations are near-to-correct, the Titan is near to the end of its oxygen supply; and five persons are aboard. I am praying that they will be successfully rescued and whether Christians or not, they will give praise to the LORD for their lives. How many rescues the
LORD has accomplished is not to be known until we meet Him. In
the meantime, we can pray and praise! “He does all things well.”

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
