Today’s Inspiration Station With Rhonnie Scheuerman

Is It Well With Your Soul?

Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right?

‘Is your child all right?'” “Everything is all right,” she said. 2 Kings 4:26

If you died today would you go to heaven?

Before you answer, read this story. In 1871 fire ravaged the city of Chicago, leaving three hundred people dead and a hundred thousand homeless. Attorney Horatio Gates Spafford, a friend of D.L. Moody, helped its people get back on their feet. After two years of tireless effort, he and his family decided to take a much-needed holiday. They planned to travel to England and join Moody in an evangelistic crusade, then go on to Europe. When Spafford got delayed he sent his family on ahead, planning to meet them on the other side of the Atlantic. But they never made it. Near Newfoundland their ship collided with an English sailing vessel and sank within twenty minutes. Spafford’s wife, Anna, survived by clinging to some floating wreckage, but all four of their daughters drowned. The next day Spafford received this terrible two-word telegram from his wife: ‘Saved alone!’. He immediately went to be with her. Later, in the course of relating their story to D.L. Moody, Spafford said quietly, ‘It is well; the will of God be done’. It was those days of overwhelming grief that inspired him to write the beloved hymn that has comforted so many: ‘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.’ Can you sing those words? You can when you surrender to Jesus as your personal Savior. Why don’t you do it today? Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Prayer Heavenly Father

because of my hope in You – I can say – “It is well with my soul”.

Thank You for making it possible for me to have this hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
