Hello, I’m Joe Pursch, and this is a Transforming Moment. The hardest thing to handle when God takes something away from you is the fear that He may not be finished taking things away. Can you trust Him anyway? Horatio Spafford was a godly businessman who lost everything in the great Fire Chicago Fire of 1873. He sent his wife and four daughters on a ship to England to start a new life. The ship went down and his four little girls drowned. Spafford sailed to England to retrieve his grieving wife, and when his ship reached the spot where his daughters had drowned, Spafford went down to his cabin and wrote these words in his diary “When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say It Is Well, It Is Well With My Soul.” Spafford’s words were later made into one of the greatest hymns of the faith we have today, reminding us that though we cannot trace God’s hand, we can always trust God’s heart. Is it well with your soul today? I’m Joe Pursch, and this has been a Transforming Moment.
