Praise The Lord!

                           May praises to Him be continually on our lips and in our hearts
.
                            It is Well is a beautiful and rich hymn that runs through my mind frequently.

1. 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.
   • Refrain:
     It is well, with my soul,
     It is well, it is well, with my soul.
   No matter what gets thrown at me I can praise Him because He has made it well with my soul. 
   
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. He, my mighty God and Savior is in control of my circumstances. Praise the Lord!
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! How can I keep from praising Him for taking my sin and nailing it to the cross.  Halleluiah, praise the Lord!   
4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
   If Jordan above me shall roll,
   No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
   Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. He moment by moment gives me a peace that passes understanding. Praise the Lord!
5. But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
   The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
   Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
   Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul! He will take me home to live with Him forever! My focus is on eternity. Praise the Lord!
6. And Lord, haste the day when my 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. My soul rejoices as I try to imagine this day. What a glorious day it will be for  those who trust in Him! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord oh my soul! 

Thank you Lord for the many ways you have blessed us. Thank you for making it WELL with our souls. May our eyes stay focused on eternity and may our praises to You be continually on our lips and in our hearts .
 

HE WILL KEEP YOU IN PERFECT PEACE

 Php 4:6  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Php 4:7  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Do you know the peace that passes all understanding? That indescribable peace when your world seems to be spinning out of control? It is ours, for the Lord has promised it to us. Bring your troubles to Him and enjoy the peace He provides. Why would you settle for less? Believe and take hold of what He offers!
