All is Well
When you hear the cry .. All is well .. would you think of an Army Century at his post letting everyone know there are no new attacks, also letting others know your approaching the Century your a friend. Or, telling your family that you have no new illnesses, like Covid19 or Cancer. There is no taste quite like fresh food (even Vegetables), especially if have grown them yourself ..Psalm 128:2 “When you eat the labour of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.”
… if you have ever grown your own produce or herbs, youy’ll know how better they taste than shop bought. The thing is you don’t need a farm or garden, just need a box and a kitchen window.
Ecclesiastes 8:12 “Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him”
v13 “But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God”
Illness is surly one of humanity’s greatest robbers of fun ~ Energy ~ Happiness, and so much more, even to loosing loved one’s. But stop, it does not have to be, Christ gave us life .. “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” .. (John 10:10) .. come on now who would not want that? I know what I’m going to tell you next, many may argue against me for putting this. . . If Jesus, like myself who 20yrs in of broken my spine, and yet still not healed, don’t tell me God does not care, as He does. Try to think of as I try to do, ‘may be your not healed because He wants to use us as we are to witness to others’.
As Christians we would have read/heard of the story where this father leave his sick son to go in search of Jesus, as he is told our Lord was near his home. . . .
John 4:47/53 “When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” 49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!” 52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household”
… Jesus must have been very frustrated, just by the language .. “you people” .. Jesus must have thought to himself ‘my message is not getting across here’, ‘do they think I’m a court jester, performing tricks & illusions for their entertainment’? Was all that God did for nought? He must have been pulling His hair out by now, I know I would have.
God is only asking us to have ‘Faith and Believe or Believe because you have Faith’. That is as simple as it is. In the morning let God know that He is Believed, because He has kept you and your loved ones safe over night, so tell Him …
Our Lord God will keep you safe, I was unable to find a better portion of Gods word that shows us to ‘Believe & have Faith’ than that of Psalms 37. The language there is so simple a child of 5yrs old could grasp. From the getgo .. V1”Donot fret” .. The Apostle John wrote in 1 John 4:4 4 “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” .. with God in us all things are possible.

Psalms 37: 2 “For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb”
Surly after reading this who could not help to feel more safe; secure and happier. When understand and fully grasp this, fully believe this, NO one can stand against us, so hold you head up high.
The greatest thing is to have Faith in God guidance. He will always equip us with all the tools needed to over come any hurdles we are faced with .. Never look to anyone else .. I want for you to read this next portion of scripture a couple of time over, so that it goes in and sticks ...
37:3&4 “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”
WOW WOW WOW
… who would not want to do this. On this scripture alone, should have you running around with a smile as wide as the English Channel. I was once asked how in your darkest hours I seemed to find the good out of such a dark place? But it was not me, but Christ’s light, His strength is my strength, of which I give thanks for daily, He is the lamp unto my feet.# All is Well #
When we fret we start to our eyes off of Jesus. Then start to burn wasteful energy, instead of giving our worries over to Him. . .
37:12&13 “The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes at him with his teeth. 13 The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.”
If you have ever watched a War movie, you would have heard them being told to .. ‘watch your six’ .. In other words .. ‘make sure there is no one sneaking up from behind’. God has us covered on ‘ALL’ sides, so “fret not”
Deuteronomy 8:1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers.”
