The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Proverbs 3:5-12, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first of all your produce;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD or loathe His reproof,
12 For whom the LORD loves He reproves, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.”

So many delightful truths come to us via the Proverbs! If today, I were to commence to read the Bible through and through, I believe I would start with the Book of Proverbs.

Can you ever recall a day when we needed more to trust Him? So many factors in life seem to require our total trust in the LORD. What’s more, the closer we are to our need, the more intense is our trust in Him. We need to acknowledge the LORD in all things!

At the same time, we must be attentive to our walk with Him. Trust is not the only factor required for those gargantuan problems that smother us; virtually everything that touches our lives requires trust in the LORD.

Being delivered from situations that only He can attend, requires our complete trust in Him. What is the most difficult issue with which you are currently dealing? Have you prayed about it? Are you endeavoring to follow the LORD’s directive like you follow that of your physician?

Honor the LORD in the whole of your life! Follow His directives as completely as you would your physician’s. He is able to do exceedingly abundant, above all that you think or ask. Just don’t forget to say “Thank YOU!”

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
