DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 8-9; Ezekiel 11; John 3:22-36
Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child. And she answered, It is well. 2 Kings 4:26
It has often puzzled me why the Shunamite woman answered that it was well with her child—when he had died. A careful examination of the dear lady’s faith reveals that she believed that Elijah’s God would somehow solve the problem. Sometimes the Lord heals by taking away a loved one. May we have the grace and faith to understand, whatever the divine response. “He doeth all things well.” —Brian Russell
When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace,
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
—E Mote
