The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 145:17-20a, “The LORD is righteous in all His ways,

And kind in all His deeds.

18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,

To all who call upon Him in truth.

19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;

He will also hear their cry and will save them.

The LORD keeps all who love Him…”

As I read these verses this morning, it occurred to me

how little we turn to the LORD with all our troubles.

Certainly, the LORD has called doctors and counselors

to serve us; but do we look more to them than we do

to Him when we encounter difficulties? Our nation

faces some grave issues, but do we pray to the LORD

or merely look to elected officials for solutions?

Who is as righteous (blameless, just) as the LORD?

Who is kinder to us than the LORD?

Who is nearer to us than the LORD?

Who listens to us and answers our prayers?

Who is more capable of fulfilling our desires?

Who keeps, watches and preserves us?

Who loves us and saves us from our troubles?

Yet, we must truly call upon Him in faith.

We must reverence Him more than all others.

We must love Him above all others!

Then the question comes: do we?

We look in love to the LORD to care for you,
