IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL! – Psalm 107:29-30 Devotional

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!

Psalm 107:29-30 – Devotional

Psalm 107:29-30

“The LORD calms the storm, so that the waves are still. They are glad because they are quiet. He guides them to their desired haven.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It seems that each of us is called upon to face storms in our life. It may be physical infirmity, financial reversals or the loss of a loved one. It is not the storm that matters, but how we react to the storm.

Back in 1873, Horatio Spafford and his family were scheduled to sail from New York to England where he was to assist the great evangelist, D.L. Moody. Because of a last minute business crisis Mr. Spafford sent his family on ahead and he would follow on a later ship.

Unfortunately the ship his family was sailing on collided with another ship and sank. There was a terrible loss of life, including the Spafford’s four daughters. It was nine days after the tragedy that Horatio Spafford received a cable from his wife that simply said, “Saved alone.” What poignant words.

Later, as he was sailing to meet his wife in England Horatio Spafford asked the captain of his ship to let him know when they were near where the accident had occurred. It was there that he penned the words of this beautiful hymn; It Is Well with My Soul.

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain: It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

And Lord haste the day, when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.
