"HE Has Done All Things Well!"

The woman had left her 

only child dead in her home!

(J.R. Miller, "Evening Thoughts" 1907)

"Gehazi asked: Is it well with 
the child?  And she answered: 
It is well."   2 Kings 4:26

The woman had left her only 

child dead in her home, and was 

riding in haste to the prophet Elisha 

to tell him of her sorrow. Yet on the way, 

in answer to an inquiry concerning her 

child, she answered,

"It is well." 

Our Christian faith may always say 

the same in any circumstances 

of affliction or trouble or sorrow. 

This is our FATHER'S world! 

GOD has all power and could 

save us from any sorrow or suffering 

if HE wished. HE is all-loving, and 

when HE permits any trial to touch us, 

it is because it will be a blessing to us. 

HE is all-wise, and knows what is best for us.

We do not know what is best for us. 

We would make pitiful work of our life 

if, for even a single day, our affairs 

and experiences were left in our 

own hands! 

But in GOD'S hands, no mistake 

will ever be made. Whatever may 

come, therefore, we may say always, 

"It is well!"

"HE has done all things well!" 
Mark 7:37

"And we know that GOD causes all 
things to work together for good to 
those who love GOD, to those who 
are called according to His purpose!" 
Romans 8:28
