The Grands Letter (GLJ)

Psalm 66:16-20, “Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what
He has done for my soul. 17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled
with my tongue. 18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;
19 But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His lovingkindness
from me.”
Aren’t we all excited to show something someone has done for us? In this
Psalm, the writer is encouraging everyone to hear what the LORD has done
for him.
A student of mine wrote how her newborn son’s liver was dead, and yet, after
her praying all night, the doctors’ tests found it functioning at an almost
normal level –something they had never before seen! The LORD only does
those things for those who have forsaken and repudiated all wickedness from
their lives. Answered prayer is the assurance that we have repented of even
the very thoughts of wickedness. It is then time for us to openly share with
others –lost and saved—how the LORD has blessed us!
Just stop and think for a minute. The LORD who designed the entire universe,
who named each star (Psa. 147:4), who fashioned Earth and created man –He
has taken note of you and is ready to answer your prayers if and when your
heart is right toward Him. WOW! What a Savior and LORD we have!
Our loving prayers for you reach out to Him every day,
Nana & Dado III
