Are you still reeling from the election results? As a child of God, are you confused, hurt and maybe even angry because you feel God did not answer the prayers of the saints. I know that many people where fasting and praying about the elections, and I want to assure you that God did not fall asleep and not hear the prayers and petitions of His saints. God did not hear their prayers and forget to act. God is still on the throne and still in control.
David's words from 2 Samuel 22:2-4 really spoke to me today. I pray that they minister to you as well.
"The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold and my refuge;
My savior, Thou dost save me from violence.
I call upon the LORD. who is worthy to be praised;
And I am saved from my enemies."
No matter what you are facing today--disappointments, financial struggles, physical difficulties, confusion or whatever is your enemy today--God is in control. God loves you. God has good plans for your life. The things going on in your life can be used by God to bring Him glory and you good. Rest in Him.
I conclude with the words from "Strong Tower" by Kutless
When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way
I go running to Your mountain
Where Your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is True and Holy
And Your face is all I seek
In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul
Now I'm running to Your mountain
Where Your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is True and Holy
And Your face is all I seek
The LORD bless you with peace and assurance of His control.
I love you,
Ruth
