The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the
shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I
trust!”

3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the
deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek
refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies
by day;

6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or of the destruction that lays
waste at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but
it shall not approach you.

8 You will only look on with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 For you have made the LORD, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling
place.

Whatever difficulties we might encounter (and there are plenty of
difficulties in life!), the LORD is our only hope of divesting them! The
Psalmist views Him as a shelter, a refuge, a fortress, a shield. We are to
view Him as our shelter and refuge, too.

Terror, destruction, pestilence, darkness – all take aim at us for their
ignominious purposes. Yet, the LORD is our shelter! Our faith rests ever and
only in Him.

So, when the waters are rough and the winds blow against us, we can know
that He is our “refuge and strength – a very present help in time of
trouble” (Psa. 46:1). So, always be of good cheer!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
