It is well with my Soul-Sing it is Well with my Soul

[Dr Augustine Joseph]

It is well with my Soul – Sing It is Well with my soul
My friend, we can choose to believe God. We can choose to know that there is nothing in all creation that can ever separate us from the love of God that has been revealed in His Son, our Savior and Comforter, Jesus Christ. We can say with the Psalmist, "Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you." (Psalm 116:7 )

I love Psalm 71 because of its deep sorrow and trouble mixed with unbounded hope in the Lord. The Psalmist knows trouble, he knows heartache, but he refuses to choose to turn his back on Almighty God. Listen to these passionate words from his heart.

Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you? {20} Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. {21} You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. {22} I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. {23} My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you-- I, whom you have redeemed. (Psa 71:19-23 )

The Psalmist said, " Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up." We can choose to know that because of God's untainted love for us He will restore our lives back to us again no matter what may come about. We are His people and He will never forsake us. We can choose, like so many other men and women of faith who have gone before us, to believe God and sing, "It is well with my soul."

you who have gone through such horrible tragedies lift your voices to Almighty God and sing, "It is well with my soul" or is your heartache leading you away from the Father's heart that yearns to comfort you in your pain? I want to invite you today to pour your heart out to Almighty God. Climb up in the Father's arms and share your sorrow, your anger, your uncertainty, your desire to be healed and whole. The Father is waiting and wanting to comfort you in all of your sorrow.

There maybe somebody who is reading this who has refused to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior because of the devastating difficulties who have faced in life. Oh, my friend won't you find solace for your troubled heart? Won't you allow the Father to apply His healing love and open your eyes to the glory of Heaven, the place where there is no heartache, sorrow, or pain? Won't you allow the Father to show you that one day there will be a glorious reunion where allow of God's sorrowful people will find their sorrow replaced with joy? Won't you invite Him in?
