The woman had left her only child dead in her home. By J. R. Miller. Gehazi asked, Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. 2 Kings 4.26

The woman had left her only child dead in her home, and was riding in haste to the Prophet Elisha to tell him of her sorrow. Yet on the way, in answer to an inquiry concerning her child, she answered, It is well.

Our Christian faith may always say the same. In any circumstances of affliction or trouble or sorrow, this is our Father's world. God has all power and could save us from any sorrow or suffering. If He so wished, He is all-loving, and when He permits any trial to touch His redeemed people, it is because it will be a blessing to us.

He is all-wise and knows what is best for us. We do not know what is best for us. We would make pitiful work of our life, if for even a single day, our affairs and experiences were left in our own hands. But in God's hands, no mistake will ever be made.

Whatever may come, therefore, we may always say, it is well. He has done all things well. Mark chapter 7, verse 37. We know that God causes all things to work together for good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans chapter 8 verse 28
