The Peace of Contentment


The hymn “It Is Well” by Horatio G Spafford has been one of my favorites. I heard the story behind the song when I was young and it has always inspired me. In the midst of horrible circumstances, the writer continued to trust God. Even though he tragically lost all of his children, he had peace that God is in control and He is good. He didn’t know why any of the horrible things happened, but he had faith that God would work it all out for good. That is how I want my life to be, defined by the quiet trust and peace that our loving God is in control.
