The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Proverbs 15:3-9, “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, watching the evil and the good. 4 A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but perversion in it crushes the spirit. 5 A fool rejects his father’s discipline, but he who regards reproof is prudent. 6 Much wealth is in the house of the righteous, but trouble is in the income of the wicked. 7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not so. 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight. 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but He loves him who pursues righteousness.”

Have you ever had the feeling that someone was watching you? You take shelter against his view but keep a close eye on him, simultaneously anticipating any next move he might make.

There is no proof, apart from the sufficient, infallible proof of Holy Scripture, that the all-seeing eye of the LORD is beholding everything in which you and I are engaged. Yet, we need no further proof. Every person on Earth is currently involved in something, and the LORD is there to aid and assist His own in their pursuits. He is supremely supportive of those whose hearts are fully given to His work.

You and I may have distinctly different reasons for the things that we do; yet, because we know Christ, He is profoundly interested in us and in all the thoughts and ventures in which we are involved. May we always pray about our ventures. May we always seek His support in everything we undertake, for without Him we can do nothing.

Heartily yours in Christ Jesus,

Gene
