The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 34:8-10, “O taste and see that the LORD is good;

How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

9 O fear the LORD, you His saints;

For to those who fear Him, there is no want.

10 The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;

But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.”

I was blessed to have been born into a Christian family. From the

earliest of my remembrances, I was taught that God’s Word, the

Bible, was without error and that the LORD Himself could always

be relied upon to hear and answer prayer.

Now in my 80th cycle of life, I can attest to the truth and value of

that teaching. I can honestly say with the psalmist, “O taste and

see that the LORD is good.” How blessed I have been! The LORD

has been my refuge in multiple troubles –some of which were of

my own making. Yet, His Word is true when it says, “For those

who fear Him, there is no want” –no “want of any good thing” to

those “who seek the LORD.”

Not everything I wanted as a child was good for me. The LORD

protected me through my parents’ guidance and prayers. But,

while we were poor by the world’s standards, we were rich beyond

words in the LORD! The care I received was well beyond that of

“the young lions.” Looking back, I can understand what I could not

understand as a child. I was walking by faith in the LORD through

my parents. As I grew older, I learned to walk by directly by faith

in the LORD. “O taste and see that the LORD is good!”

Love prompts our prayers for you daily,
