The Grands Letter (Ps/GLJ)

Dear Grands,
Psalms 10:8-13, “Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.
8 He smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He smote many nations and slew mighty kings,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And He gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel His people.
13 Your name, O LORD, is everlasting, Your remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Multiple things occur in life for which there appears to be neither reason nor human origin. Yet, the Psalmist tells us that the LORD is the One who orders them all.
What child is there who has wondered and asked for answers for which neither parents nor teachers could respond with satisfaction? Science has delved deeply into multiple mysteries of life, yet without clear and satisfactory resolutions.
How did the world begin? How will it end? What is the purpose of life? How are we to know whether we are satisfactorily fulfilling the reason we are here?
When “push comes to shove,” the only answer is the LORD. He is our Maker. He originated the plan for life; and He alone controls the whole of the universe and all that lives and thrives therein! His will is set forth in His Word, Holy Scripture. And He has preserved it as His instruction for all mankind.
Do you read the Bible daily? Do you read it meaningfully? Do you evaluate the things you do in the light of your understanding of the Word? One day, we will all give an account of how we have lived. It is my prayer that my life will have been lived for His glory. I pray that for you, too.
Heartily in Christ,
