The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 33:13-22, “The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men;
14 From His dwelling place He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.
16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; a warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a false hope for victory; nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope for His lovingkindness,
19 To deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have hoped in You.”

Virtually every day we hear of someone who has committed a sinful act, believing all the while that it has been successfully hidden from the eyes of all others. Yet, the psalmist insists that such is not true. Additionally, there’s an old adage that says,

“You can fool some of the people some of the time,
And some of the people all of the time;
But you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”

Much less can anyone fool God. Read again the words of Scripture that say, “The LORD looks from heaven; He sees the activities of all the sons of men…”

It’s amazing how long some criminals seem to avoid capture. Yet, they are eventually caught. The delays do not occur because those hunting the perpetrators refuse to give up. God never gives up!

Back in 1929, the Rev. A. H. Ackley wrote a song entitled, “You Cannot Hide From God.”

“You CANNOT HIDE FROM God
Tho’ mountains cover you,
His eye our secret thoughts behold,
His mercies all our lives enfold,
He knows our purposes untold,
You cannot hide from God.”

James 5:16 says, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
