The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 37:7-11, “Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret, it leads only to evildoing.

9 For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.

10 Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place,

and he will not be there.

11 But the humble will inherit the land, and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.”

Probably all of us have been upset at times when we see unrighteous people prosper.

Why does he have so much and I have so little? He doesn’t go to church or even give

evidence that he believes in God; amd he’s known to be crooked in business, yet everything

he does seems to produce more and more.

“Be patient,” the psalmist says. “Don’t get upset because other have more than you.

Don’t even worry that their methods of making money are dishonest. Don’t get angry!

It only leads to your own evildoing.”

Evildoers only prosper for a little while. They will ultimately lose it all. Only those who wait

patiently for the LORD to work will prosper and actually inherit the land. You hear today

of the big money people; sometimes, you will even learn how they schemed to make it

and worked around the law and got away with it. But in a short while, you’ll stop hearing

about them because they’re nowhere to be found. Death will have become the great

equalizer.

Don’t ever plan to get even. Don’t worry about the dishonest or what riches they have

amassed for themselves. It’s the humble ones who will inherit the land; and they will

then delight themselves in prosperity that the LORD has provided. And what He gives

us will be superabundantly beyond the possessions of those who never knew Him.

We always pray for you, and we know the LORD hears and answers prayer,
