Yesterday I spent some time researching the story behind the hymn “It is Well.”
We were blessed to hear Kutless perform it live this weekend and I was stirred to dig a bit deeper…indeed the gentleman who penned these words drew close to the Lord in a time of unimaginable tragedy. He drew close and “learned the unforced rhythm of grace.”
If we all could “learn the unforced rhythm of grace,” it would indeed be “well….with my soul….”
Although the words “it is well with my soul” are not found in Scripture, Jesus told us…
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11: 28-30
