The outcome of this election did not go as I hoped and prayed&#8230; as many hoped and prayed. Since then, it\u2019s been one blow after another- to my beliefs, my hopes, so many prayers and so many concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyday I\u2019ve been choosing to begin with the basics of Psalm 23. <em><strong>Yes, God is my faithful Shepherd. I won\u2019t suffer lack. He leads me to rest and refreshment -all in His righteousness (Jesus). He\u2019s with me in darkness and gives nourishment as wolves surround. I am commissioned and abundantly supplied. God is good! <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of New Testament verses come to mind when I meditate here. Especially 2 Peter 1:3 &#8211;<strong><em>seeing that Jesus has granted us everything needed for godliness<\/em>,<\/strong>  I can continue to trust Him and serve Him through an onslaught of disappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Job said,<strong><em> \u201cThough He slay me, I will \u2018yachal\u2019 in Him.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Yachal is an act of the will: <em>to remain, wait, tarry, trust continually even with long-suffering.<\/em> It is as King David stated in Psalm 71:14,<em><strong> a will to hope and a will to praise yet more and more in God. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Voice of the martyrs<\/strong> has a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">VOMradio.net<\/span> with stories from persecuted believers all over the globe. They\u2019re faithfulness in the midst of adversity has been a door of Hope to my heart. I am reminded again and again as this world is fading, yet I can trust Jesus will come again for us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cAnd if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with Me, so that where I am you may be also\u201d<\/em><\/strong> John 14:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ForGlorySake!<\/strong> &#8211;<em>Ann<\/em>a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/L1020952.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6550\"\/><figcaption>finding rest for my soul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the darkness?
