It Shall Be Well With Him...

"Say to the righteous, that is shall be well with him." Isaiah 3:10

It is well with the righteous ALWAYS. If it had said, "Tell the righteous that it is well with him in his prosperity", we must have been thankful for so great a gift, for prosperity is an hour of peril, and it is a gift from heaven to be secured from its snares: or if it was written, "It is well with him when under persecution", we must have been thankful for so sustaining an assurance, for persecution is hard to bear; but when no time is mentioned, all time is included! God's "shalls" must be understood always in their largest sense.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from the first gathering of evening shadows until the day-star shines, all all conditions and under all circumstances, it shall be well with the righteous! It is so well with him that we could not imagine it to be better...

For he is well fed--he feeds upon the flesh and blood of Jesus.  He is well clothed--he wears the imputed righteousness of Christ. He is well housed--he dwells in God. He is well married--his soul is knit in bonds of marriage union to Christ. He is well provided for-- for the Lord is his Shepherd. He is well endowed--for heaven is his inheritance.

It is well with the righteous....well upon divine authority! The mouth of God speaks this comforting assurance!

O beloved, if God declares that all is well, ten thousand devils may declare things to be ill, but we laugh them all to scorn! Blessed be God for a faith which enables us to believe God when the creatures contradict Him!

It says in the Word, at all times things are well with the righteous--so beloved, if you cannot see it, let God's Word stand for you instead of sight! Yes, believe it on divine authority more confidently than if your eyes and your feelings told it to you. Whom God blesses is blessed indeed, and what His lips declare is truth most sure and steadfast! Praise be to God!
