Ode to the future wife of Abishag

I know that you see your life crumbling before you. Everything you’ve ever taken for granted or held dear is disappearing before your very eyes. I know that you feel hopeless. I know that you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. But, although you are “hard pressed on every side” you will not be “crushed”. Although you are “perplexed”, you will not wallow in “despair”. Although you are being “persecuted”, you will not be “abandoned”. And Although you are “struck down” you will not be destroyed. Remember, your enemy will not gloat over you, for though it seems that you have fallen, you will rise and though your life sits in darkness, the Lord will be your Light. Victory is yours, claim it, beloved.
