It Will Be Well

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Isaiah 3:10 (New International Version)

Words hold such power. God used words to speak creation into existence. Each day we are given the opportunity to breathe life or death into situations. God would desire us to be a verbal encouragement to those we come into contact with.

At times, we wonder if what we are doing really matters. Is it making a difference in anyone’s life? It is easy to get discouraged when we do not see results immediately or try as we may difficulties still find their way into our life.

Imagine yourself running a race. Along the way spectators call out to you words of encouragement meant to spur you on to finish the race. Words have a way of snapping us back to reality.

The truth of the matter is God’s principle of reaping and sowing is still in place today. “It will be well” is a promise made by God to those who chose to follow Him. They are words we must learn to speak to ourselves and to others. No matter what the circumstances are right now, IT WILL BE WELL. No matter what grim news has just been delivered to you, IT WILL BE WELL. No matter what loss you have just sustained, IT WILL BE WELL. No matter what your finances look like presently, IT WILL BE WELL.

For the righteous (just, lawful) those words are meant to inspire, encourage, sustain, rejuvenate, motivate, and renew. We must not let the things we can see, hear, feel, and experience diminish the promise made from our Father’s mouth to our heart.

Today when you begin to doubt, fear, or become discouraged let the phrase “it will be well” become your mantra. Count on it as surely as anything else. Think of it this way. In the midst of it all, God leans over, takes your head in His hands, and whispers into your ear, “ I know it is hard right now. I know you are hurting and the way has gotten painful. But I give you My word. This is all going to end well. I promise!”

Father, cause Your words to take root in me. They are not only spoken in love but they will be accomplished. Amen.
