It Is Well With My Soul…

 “If God is for us, who can be against us?” – Romans 8:31.

The song "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford. 

His only son died at age 4 in 1871. In 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate, which made from a successful legal career. In 1873 he sent his wife & 4 daughters over to Europe on a summer trip on the ill-fated SS Ville du Havre. (A steamship that sank in 12 minutes with the loss of 226 lives.)

Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later. The Ship sank and he lost his 4 daughters with his wife being the only survivor. She sent him a famous telegram which simply read, "SAVED ALONE...."

On his return home, his Law firm was burned down and the insurance company refused to pay him, saying, "It's an Act of God". He had no money to pay for his house and no work, he also lost his house. 

Then while sitting and thinking about what's happening to him, being a spiritual person, he wrote a song - "Whatever, my Lord, You have taught me to say - It is well, it is well with my soul".

My dear sister and brothers, a good attitude will determine your altitude. When you look at your life, career, job, or family life, what do you say? Do you praise God? Do you blame the devil?

A good attitude towards God makes Him move on your behalf.

Just sit down and say:

- Today God, it is well with my soul, I am thankful I had a peaceful sleep.

- God, I am thankful I am alive with possibilities.

- God, I am thankful I have a roof over me.

- God, I am thankful I have a job.

- God, I am thankful that I have family and friends.

- Above all God, I am thankful that I have Your Son, Lord Jesus Christ, on my side.

Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others are prospering because you don't know what they have been through to get there (test, trials and tribulations). So thank God for what you have. "Little is much when God is in it. It Is Well With My Soul!"

Touch someone's life with this message. If God is for us, who can be against us?

Stay Blessed!

“Let all be well with your soul.”
