IT IS WELL!!!

Carol Clegg-Lamptey

This phrase.
Three simple words; yet the depth of meaning they convey.
Do you find yourself using it very often?
I certainly do.
And I put it to you —- “It is well”

Two songs come to mind
1. When peace like a river attendeth my way
2. Through the love of God our Saviour

What does this phrase mean and why at all do people use it??

I’m putting together what I read online; you can put what you think in the comment section.

It means that no matter what tragic or unexpected thing may happen in my life..my life is in God’s hands and I trust Him.

Just look at the story behind the first song.
Horatio Spafford lost so much
– a fortune in the great Chicago fire of 1871.
– his beloved four-year-old son died of scarlet fever
– his four daughters lost their lives in a ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean

Can you imagine such a loss??
And yet, this man wrote the words of the beautiful hymn we sing.

I don’t know what you’re going through.
I certainly know what I am going through.

All I can say to you is
“It is well.”

With Christ in the vessel,..we shall smiiiiile 😃 at the storm!

A few Bible verses below:

1 Kings 5:4 NLT
But now the LORD my God has given me peace on every side; I have no enemies, and all is well.

Psalm 112:5 ESV
It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.

So my brother,.. my sister.

IT IS WELL

Why??
Because God dey,..we too we dey paaaaaa!!
😃💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

God bless you!
