Have you ever had one of those weeks where you get a song stuck in your head?  You are really not sure why, but you can't seem to forget it and you find yourself singing it over and over again.  Well, I just experienced one of those weeks and I would like to share the song with you that got stuck in my head.  It is a beautiful hymn that I'm sure most of you know and have sung before.

Verse 1:  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.

Verse 2:  Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control.  That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul.

Verse 3:  My sin oh the bliss of this glorious thought: My sin not in part, but the whole.  Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.      

Verse 4:  And Lord Haste the day when the 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.

Chorus:  It is well; it is well, with my soul, with my soul.  It is well; it is well with my soul.

This is such a great hymn and is so comforting and encouraging to all Christ followers who know that it doesn't matter who you are, or what color your skin is, whether you're rich or poor, or where you live or what kind of trials you are facing in your life right now.  Through it all we know that Jesus Christ Himself has regarded our helpless estate and that He shed His own blood for our souls.  That should be enough to make us all sing praises!

Be encouraged today my friends, whatever your lot in life.  One day soon, the trump of the Lord shall sound and He shall descend.  We will at that time live by sight instead of by faith.  So let it be well with your soul today.  Let it be well with your soul.

We thank God for all those who send in monthly support that allows us to minister the love of Christ to people all around the world.  Please keep me, my family and the worldwide ministry of LovingGodFellowship.org in your prayers as we keep you in ours.  Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith.
