Psalm 23:4
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
There are good dreams and there are bad dreams. Unfortunately we humans are prone to judge the good times as what God desires for us and the bad times as some sort of punishment from the Lord.
The apostle Paul endured trials beyond what most of us will ever endure; beatings, shipwreck, hunger and much more. Here is what he writes concerning these “bad times” of life. Philippians 4:12: “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”
Franz Liszt’s great work, Liebestraum, means “Dreams of Love.” For the believer it should mean the dreams of God’s unfailing love for us and our love for Him.
When Horatio Spafford lost his children, an accident at sea, he could have become bitter. Instead he penned the words of the beautiful hymn, “It Is Well With My Soul.”
I pray that God’s love touches you with the words of this hymn as you delight in the inspired arrangement of Liebestraum & 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 soulRefrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
