It Is Well
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Here we are again! Morning has come and today is beginning! It is well and active and so should we be as we move along into the day. The thought of “well” brings me to the memories of singing an old hymn, “It is Well with my Soul”. When you are young, old hymns seems so forlorn, sad, and you wonder why the author was so down when they poured out those feelings on the paper. Maybe they had a loss that tore at their very core! Or maybe they just realized how a God so powerful could love them unconditionally! Or realized, God is the comforter and will heal your sad heart. Even how God showed grace and forgave them of their sins. It is well with our souls, it is well with our minds, and it is well with our hearts! When the world brings us down; pause and think, it is well with my soul! When our sorrows are overwhelming, remember it is well with my soul. God has taught us that it is well, and He has the answers to whatever we are going through. Even when satan believes he has broken us, think; that’s wrong, God has a plan and it is well thought out and planned! Whether you believe your sins are too great, remember Jesus nailed them to the cross and bore them just for you; It is well. The day will come when the trumpet sounds and Jesus descends and all of it is going to be well! Let’s take today and think on the positive, relying on God to be in the lead throughout the day; remembering “It IS well”!
