How many times have we been disappointed because we didn't get something that we thought would make our life better? A promotion, a new house, a different job, the perfect car, a promising business opportunity - familiar ground for each of us.This week I came accross a unique blend of traditional and modern music - "It Is Well" by Kutless - the Title track from their new CD. The original Hymn, written in the 1870's, shares a message that holds true today. Regardless of what happens around me - it is well with my soul - God loves me and I am alright. The author, Horatio Spafford, had experienced several faith-challenging events which inspired the song. (Story here) A lesser person may have simply tuned away from God.
When a few things didn't go quite the way I'd hoped for, this song helped me see that life is still unfolding as God has planned. Those "missed opportunities" often turn into tremendous blessings. My faith remains - It is well....
