Yes, we are promised trouble in the world. Yes, we are not always guaranteed deliverance from our enemies. But we are promised sufficient grace to sustain our soul during all afflictions. And we have the Holy Spirit to give us joy and peace and wisdom and hope during all our afflictions. We have His word that regardless of what happens to us that everything will ultimately turn out for our greatest good. We know our trials are in His hands – hands that are good, loving, wise and sovereign. And when our assigned time on this earth is done we have promises far clearer than anything King David even experienced. We have the hope of being with Him in Paradise for all of eternity.

INSTRUCTIONS

Martha Washington Devil's Food Cake (from Baker's Book of Chocolate Riches)
Melt  chocolate  in a saucepan over a very low  heat, stirring constantly
until smooth.  Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk. Stir
until well blended. Cool thoroughly. Mik flour, baking powder, soda and
salt.  Cream  butter,  and gradualy beat in the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar.
Continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating
thoroughly after each. Blend in about one-fourth of the flour mixture, then
add the chocolate & vanilla. Alternately add the remaining flour and
buttermilk, beating after each addition until smooth.
Pour  into two 9 inch greased & floured pans, and bake at 350 for about 40
minutes.
I  used a cream cheese frosting on the outside and filled the space between
the layers with the chocolate frosting recipe on the Hershey's cocoa box.
