TODAY’S WORD:
The Shunammite woman had every reason to be overwhelmed. Her only son had died, yet when she was asked how she was, she answered, “It is well.” She was not denying her pain; she was choosing to hold on to God in the middle of it.
Jennifer Rothschild knows something about trusting God when circumstances are anything but well. As a teenager, after doctors told her she was going blind, she returned home with her parents and went straight to their old upright piano. Unable to read the music, she played by ear for the first time—and the song that came from her heart was “It Is Well with My Soul.” Looking back, she said, “It does not have to be well with my circumstances for it to be well with my soul.”
That is the faith God desires to build in us. “It is well” does not mean everything around us is well. It means that, even when life hurts and we cannot understand what God is doing, we can still trust Him. Our circumstances may change, but Jesus does not. Because He is with us, we can say, “It is well with my soul.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for this beautiful and blessed day. When my circumstances are painful and I do not understand what You are doing, help me to trust You. Give me peace that does not depend on what is happening around me. Strengthen my faith and remind me that Jesus is with me in every trial. Teach me to rest in Your love and say, even through my tears, “It is well with my soul.” In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world!
Happy and Joyful Sabbath as We are filled with this Hope that Burns within Our Heart!
We are United in Christ!
Jesus is Coming Very Soon!
PRAISE THE LORD!π
