Do We Have It Hard?

Some today say we have it hard, that life is difficult. Others say life is unbearable! I know life can be brutal at times, but unbearable? Don’t get me wrong; I’ve said the same thing at times. I was sitting at a friend’s house today making Upside Down German Chocolate cake.

We got to talking about God, as we always seem to do, no matter where we are. I expressed concern about the world, the upcoming presidential inauguration, and how the world might react in the not-so-distant future, not just the US, but the world.

We were watching YouTube and praising God for the wonderfully relentless God He is. God spoke to me during one of the praise songs we were listening to together. He told me to “Quiet yourself, Daughter. Nothing will happen unless I’ve deemed it. Take heart, Child, you are the Daughter of the King.” He gently, lovingly reminded me that He is still in charge no matter who is the President.

We can make the food we want; we can love who we want, we can sing, dance, and praise Him; however, we choose. Thanks for the reminder, Papa.

May God bless our world and give guidance to all those in power. If they don’t know Him, may they be introduced! May He bless us today!
