A Blog Friend used this post title a few days ago,
and it struck me that it fit just what I've been wanting
to share with you: It is well with my Soul.
Just a few days ago,
I was FILLED with such peace . . .
truly a "Peace that passeth understanding."
Nothing in our situation has changed.
Some parts of our Family Relationships
have even taken a turn for the worse.
Yet . . .
"It is well, with my soul."
Just a few days ago,
I picked up "Jesus Calling"
off of the 50% off table at the bookstore.
I had heard about it for a couple of years.
I had looked at it.
But, this week, I was compelled to finally buy it.
Here are a couple of short excerpts from . . .
Wednesday's Devotional:
"As you live in close contact with Me, the Light of My Presence
filters through you to bless others. Your weakness and woundedness
are the openings through which the Light of the knowledge
of My Glory shines forth. My strength and power show themselves
most effective in your weakness."
Yesterday's Devotional:
"My Peace is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price.
It is an exquisitely costly gift . . . I purchased this Peace for you with My blood.
You receive this gift by trusting Me in the midst of life's storms. If you have
the world's peace - everything going your way - you don't seek My unfathomable Peace.
Thank Me when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped
in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world. Expect them each day.
Rejoice in the face of hardship, for I have overcome the world."
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world
you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Yes.
God has given me His Peace.
It is well, with my soul.
