The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 112:1-7, “Praise the LORD! How blessed is the man who
fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness
endures forever.
4 Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; he will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken; the righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.”

It was Mark Twain (aka, Samuel Clemens) who said to always tell
the truth! “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
It’s difficult to praise Clemens much beyond this remark because he
embraced atheism. Yet, as the clock on the wall is correct twice a
day, perhaps we can give Clemens a pass with respect to this one
quotation.

The psalmist praises the man who reverences the LORD, delighting
in His commandments. True Light blesses the generation that comes
from the upright. True Light bespeaks strength and riches. The
righteousness of the spiritually and morally upright endures forever!

Intense light argues well with all sorts of darkness. Those living in
this light will be remembered for their steadfast trust in the LORD.
Throughout the Scriptures, Light is synonamus and in line with
“freedom.”

Are you free? Have you been “born again” in Christ Jesus? Are
you walking with Him? He is the Light?

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
