It is well.

I work with some of the most incredible people ever. After a long Monday of school and parent-teacher conferences, I walked into another teacher's room to two of the people on my team listening to one of my favorite groups, Bethel. They immediately insisted that I hear the song. The song is called, "It Is Well." It was a song I had heard before and liked but had never really focused on the words until one of them literally said, "Listen to those words, like does it get any better than that?"

The words were, "Let go my soul and trust in Him. The waves and wind still know His name."

Just the words "Let go my soul..." means so much. It was the most perfect reminder on the most perfect of days that the very thing that my heart and soul won't let go of, deserves to be laid at the feet of Jesus. And because of the next words of the song, laying it down and letting it go is all okay.

"The waves and wind still know His name."

The storms in life full of waves and wind know His name and they STILL have to answer to Him, like they have had to from the very beginning of time. I am so thankful that the Lord is sovereign and that everything in my life is either God-arranged or God-allowed. Nothing that has happened, is happening, or will happen to me has not passed through the hands of the Lord. I am also thankful that He is a good Father who only knows how to give good gifts.

So, listen to the song. If you're like me, it should probably be on repeat as a reminder to your soul to let go and keep your eyes on the Lord, through it all.
