It is well with my soul!

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

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, 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 the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

We sang this song at knee drill tonight. I was praying and singing along when I realized...for the first time in my entire life, I can truly say I know for sure that it IS well with my soul. I was praying for a specific group of people, that they would know for certain what was going to happen with their soul when they die, or that they knew for sure that Christ was coming to take them home when he comes back. And i realized, those 2 things don't really freak me out anymore. I used to get scared when I'd think of death and the 2nd coming to the point of losing breath over it...I had faith in Christ and I believe I had salvation, but occasionally had doubts...slowly over the last few years those feelings and thoughts slowly started fading and I realized tonight Im not completely freaked anymore. I think it's normal to be a little bit nervous about them because it's our natural tendancy to be nervous of the things we don't really know the exact timing of.

I really want anyone who reads this to look at your life. How is it in your soul? Does the fact the Yahweh Bore your sin on Calvary bring you a feeling of complete joy, yet complete sorrow that he suffered that pain for your sake? He took on our crap so that we wouldn't have to carry those things anymore. Are you allowing Christ to do what he wants to do in your life or are you still in control of parts of your life? Submit wholly to Christ and the things he has for you. Some stuff that he tells you to do may suck in the moment but ultimately it's the best thing for you.

Listen to what he has to say to you!
