Devotional for November 8
It Is Well With My Soul
Author: Horatio G. Spafford
Scripture: Psalm 121:1-2
I will lift up my eyes to the hills--From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
Hymn lyrics:
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, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
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.
Refrain
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!
Refrain
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.
Refrain
Today's thoughts:
Our lives are full of peaks and valleys. When our mountain-top experiences turn suddenly to valleys of despair, we must have faith to keep going. Lord strengthen us we pray, so when our hearts are troubled, we will have the courage to proclaim even so, it is well with our souls.
