So, what is next?

There are many mixed emotions in our country today. I dare say it runs the entire gamut from elation to all out fear.

In prayer in the wee hours of Tuesday morning I was drawn to many examples in the Old Testament where the Israelites cried to God for a King. When He would allow them to have the king they asked for what happened? Every time they ended up with times and seasons of bondage.

I realized that many people in our country were crying out for a king to take away their problems.

Next I was drawn to Daniels story along with his three friends; Shadrak, Meshak, and Abendigo. These young men were exiled and thrown in to potential bondage because their people wanted a king. But what these men did to stay safe, and even come away with more than they went in with was to hold true to the commands of God.

I felt strongly that God was directing me to see that no matter what happens in the coming days, weeks and even years; as long as I do not compromise my obedience to God's commands I and my family will be safe and come out on top. This road will most likely have bumps and even craters in it, but I do not have to be tripped up or fall in.

I am continuing to pray for our nation and all of its citizens.

Blessings,
