The Grands Letter (Prov/GLJ)

Dear Grands,
Proverbs 3:13-28, “How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.
14 For her profit is better than the profit of silver, and her gain better than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast.
19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding, He established the heavens.
20 By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies drip with dew.
21 My son, let them not vanish from your sight; keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 so they will be life to your soul and adornment to your neck.
23 Then you will walk in your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes;
26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.”
How precious is the LORD, who blesses mankind with such marvelous things! Mankind is self-handicapped by its failure to notice the marvelous blessings of the LORD! His beauty is manifested in every item of His creation! Life races by so quickly! Still, it is our fault for not taking the time to adore all He has put before us. The sights! The sounds! Everything speaks of His love and provision.
The enormous potential that He has created is slowly becoming known to the mortals whom He has placed on Earth for discovery. Like children who discover a mystery that their parents have ostensibly “hidden” from them, the LORD has multiple mysteries for which He anticipates our discovery. There’s an old song that says, “Look and Live, my brother live; Look to Jesus now and live. It’s recorded in His word, Hallelujah! It is only that we look and live!” Have you looked into His Word recently? Better hurry!
Heartily in Christ,
