In the wake of last week’s elections, I’ve seen a fair share of hand-wringing and fearful projections and broken spirits and despair being expressed online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get it. The results were a little disheartening for conservatives. But they should also serve as a reminder that our hope lies not in politics, but in the LORD. (If not, that is where it be!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart triumphs, And with my song I shall thank Him.”<\/p>Psalm 28:7<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, God has not <\/em>called us to worry or fret or complain, but to “consider it all joy when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” (James 1:2-3<\/a>) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today seems like the perfect time to share my new Joyful Heart Coloring Page<\/a>. It features the words of yet another great verse for circumstances like the one in which we currently find ourselves. It reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”<\/p>proverbs 17:22<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So let’s commit to doing that, shall we? To cultivating a joyful heart? To rejoicing in the LORD always? (Philippians 4:4)<\/a> And to giving thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for us. (1 Thessalonians 5:18<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These aren’t mere suggestions. They are direct commands. So let’s snap to and get to back to work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
