All is well

2 Kings 4:18-20          New English Translation

18 The boy grew and one day he went out to see his father who was with the harvest workers. 19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 20 So he picked him up and took him to his mother. He sat on her lap until noon and then died.                                                                                 

2 Kings 4:26   New English Translation

26 Now, run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?’” She told Gehazi, “Everything’s fine.”

 

All is well

 

All things God destines are to be insured and well

All things that God purposes are in our interest

All things, that befall us daily, are in God’s awareness

And all things we experience are for our betterment

 

God writes in the dry sand for the unbeliever

For the ones He accepts He writes in the heart

The fleshy tables there so-called, not chiseled in stone

Not carved as the first commandments  that man tore apart

 

What we will and what we want are two different issues

What is really good for us we are not able to recognize?

Our comprehensive vision for our needs in the near future

Are patterns absorbed by the flesh where we compromise?
