The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 124:1-8, “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side when men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, the stream would have swept over our soul;
5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.
7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; the snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

The fighting that exists in Israel today bespeaks the nation’s very life!
When was the last time you looked at the size of Israel on a map? Have
you ever compared Israel with Iran? Israel would fit hundreds of times
inside Iran, were you to compare the two nations.

On it’s face, Israel’s defeat seems inevitable! Yet, the nation
possesses an unbelievable spirit. Most nations –even those of much greater size than Israel—would have declared defeat long ago.

Israel consists of a mere 8,522 square miles, compared to the 636,372 square miles of Iran. That would be something like a tiny mouse compared to a huge black bear. What gives Israel her resilience? In a
word, it is the LORD! More than 61 times the Scriptures speak of “your
land” with respect to Israel.

Stay tuned! The same LORD who has bequethed His Land to His people,
will labor and protect you from all encumbrances. The key to the door is
being one of “His people.” And we become His when we trust the LORD Jesus Christ as our Savior. Have you done that? Fortify yourself in Him today!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
