Topic: It is well
Text: Isaiah 3:1-11
M.V: Isaiah 3:10
Introduction: One of the greatest blessings of believers is that in the midst of uncertainties and untold vicissitudes of life, God will always preserve his children. The message contained in our text was given to the people of Judah through Isaiah as a warning and a call to return unto the Lord or otherwise face the impending devastation and calamity that will come upon the Land. As at that time, they had forgotten the Lord and turned to other gods. The Lord would withdraw all supplies of food and water and hand them over to the mercy of their enemies, Isaiah warned. However, it is gratifying to know that God does not punish both the wicked and the righteous at the same time; he knows those that are his. In a wicked, perverse, idolatrous and self-seeking generation such as ours, the righteous is confident of the fact, that it is well with him. May God give us deep insight as we study.

Conclusion
The hymn “When peace like a river” written by Horatio Spafford was written amidst great trouble. He chose not to give up, but hang up his faith in God who never disappoints. Let us not compromise our faith in God as a result of the things happening around us. It must be well for the righteous.
