This song just melts my heart. Absolutely true!! It can only be well with my soul because I keep my focus on, not this fleeting time now, but my eternal view on everything.
Absolutely love these scriptures. I don't think there is a day that goes by that I don't have to apply them. 2 Corinthians 10:5, "...take EVERY thought captive and make it obedient to Christ." Psalm 16: 8, "I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Hebrews 12:2,".. fixing our eyes on Jesus"....
I need the truth of God's word, because it's scriptures like this that will happen while you are in time here on earth. 1 Peter 5: 8, "...Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Ephesians 6: 11, "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can stand against the devil's schemes." If you ever wonder why the things of this world are looking worse and worse, I guess you don't now whose world this is. 2 Corinthians 4: 4 !!!! "The god of this world".... small g, not capitol G.
Knowing my emotions respond based on how I think and look at things, I choose to think and see how God wants me to. I want every thought, or something I see, to be controlled by how my God wants me to see it. The enemy wants me to view things his way so it will ruin my every day.
Knowing I am a child of God, I know He already holds my victory. The enemy would love for me to hold tightly to the things of this world, but God has taught me well. You can only be taught if you allow yourself to be teachable. It hurts, but it is worth it. I seek God in all things, good and bad.
So through it all dear LORD, my eyes are on You. That's what makes things "Well with my soul."
