The Grands Letter (1 Chron/GLJ)

1 Chronicles 16:8-14, βOh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples.
9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
10 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
11 Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
12 Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
Itβs at once a sad, yet glorious fact, that we are enabled both to seek and know the Lord. How often do we credit Him with our glorious experiences of life? Is our music always sung to His glory? Do we continually praise Him for all of His wonders. Do we express glory to Him? Do we marvel at His strength?
His Word encourages us to seek Him in His strength. What is there that we truly need that He is unable to give us? As human parents are responsible to care for his children, so the LORD cares for us in every situation. Do we then praise Him? or do we take His provisions and His protections for granted?
He should be the focus of our continual praise. We should pause in life to recognize His love for us and His continual care. Are you praising Him regardless of the negative situations in your life? He loves you and is
able to rescue you from every negative situation. Just trust Him! Just believe Him. βHe is the LORD our God;
His judgments are in all the earth!β
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
