Names of God Class Focus for May 2020
Yahweh-Shalom
The LORD Is Peace

The Lord greeted Gideon in peace, so he built an altar and named it "The LORD is Peace" (see Judges 6:23-24). You have probably heard the blessing "Shalom" from Jewish friends and acquaintances. It means peace. More importantly, it means the Lord, our peace. Where does the Shepherd lead His sheep? Beside the peaceful, still waters. "He leads me beside the still waters; He makes me lie down in green pastures" (Psalm 23:2). When your heart is content, you are at peace. And where does that contentment come from? The grace of God. There's no man more discontent than one who is not experiencing the amazing grace of God. Only in Jesus, will you find security, sufficiency, and serenity.

It Is Well
a Hymn Classic
& The Story of Horatio Spafford

Horatio Spafford. “It Is Well with My Soul.” Manuscript hymn, 1871.Manuscript Division, Library of Congress (8)

It Is Well

1 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!”
  It is well with my soul!
                 It is well, it is well with my soul!

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
   Let this blest assurance control,
   That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
   And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

3 My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
   My sin, not in part, but the whole,
   Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
   Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

4 For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
   If dark hours about me shall roll,
   No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
   Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Shalom, enjoy this version of It is Well by Guy Penrod and David Phelps and meditate on the wonder of Our Savior:
