The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 33:16-22, “The king is not saved by a mighty army; a warrior
is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a false hope for victory; nor does it deliver anyone by
its great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those
who hope for His lovingkindness,
19 To deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we
have hoped in You.”

Taking these few words above to heart, we admit our utter weakness.
Salvation in every sense of the word comes only from the LORD! No
one is freed from the ravages of war without the LORD’s intervention.

Wars, of course, come to us under a variety of circumstances. As I
write, the nations of Israel and Hamas struggle in one of the most
atrocious and brutal wars known to modern mankind. Yet, the strength
required is ever from the LORD.

Throughout the world, hundreds of persons lie in hospital beds, fighting
for their lives; yet their strength for survival lies not within themselves,
but in the LORD.

All of our human undertakings belie our own strength. The Word says,
“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him…” It is the
LORD alone who delivers our souls from death; therefore, it is He upon
whom we must ever and always rely.

Whatever your circumstances, however overwhelming they may seem
to be, may our faith and trust rely upon the LORD, who loves and
delivers all His children from the throes of fear and death.

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; “May they prosper who love you.”

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
