November 6th-Election Day and Remembering

I shared my story on a friend's blog last week. My story of  loss and love. My story of Hope! It's been an interesting week listening to what is going on in our country and the memories of the last 10 years of my own life.  As I glanced through all the Facebook posts and TV ads about today being Election Day for our country, I was struck with a thought. "I'm not worried at all about the outcome of the elections!" Because on this day, 10 years ago my world was ripped a part and my life changed forever. I have looked back on my life and the ups and downs, the bad choices, the sad endings, the happy times, and realize one thing-MY HOPE is ANCHORED in GOD! It doesn't matter who is running this country, it doesn't matter the outcome good or bad of a day, what matters is the Father who loves me and us with an never ending love is still King, He is still Lord, and nothing not the little details of my life or the details of a country's future takes Him by surprise. It really doesn't matter if people believe He exists or not, He is still God- and our unbelief or the worlds trust in Man will Never EVER Keep him from being who He has said He is over and over.

I have been meditating on this Psalm since yesterday and find it has bound itself to my heart during this week, especially verse 7!

Psalm 20

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹ 

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;

    may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

² 

May he send you help from the sanctuary

    and grant you support from Zion.

³ 

May he remember all your sacrifices

    and accept your burnt offerings.^[b]

⁴ 

May he give you the desire of your heart

    and make all your plans succeed.

⁵ 

May we shout for joy over your victory

    and lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.

⁶ 

Now this I know:

    The Lord gives victory to his anointed.

He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary

    with the victorious power of his right hand.

⁷ 

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

⁸ 

They are brought to their knees and fall,

    but we rise up and stand firm.

⁹ 

Lord, give victory to the king!

    Answer us when we call!
