DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY JANUARY 8, 2025

(Philippians 4:7)


***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: The Lord is your fortress, your strong tower, and HE will defeat your foes!


***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, give me Your strength today. Your Word says that when I am weak, You are strong. Strengthen me this day to live my life for You, to defeat my enemies, and see victory. You, and You alone are my hope and strength each day. Let the Holy Spirit rise up in me this day and guide my life for Your glory! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!!!


***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: Biden is leaving office in shame and is exactly what you expect from an angry, bitter, nasty old man suffering from dementia! 12 days from now the national nightmare known as the illegitimate Joe Biden Administration that was installed on the heels of the stolen 2020 election will be OVER! Please do not be fooled, the actions by Biden in the final days of his Presidency are NOT being decided by him, just like every major decision during the 4 years he was the “avatar in chief” have not been made by him. Who was making all of these decisions that were meant to purposely damage, even destroy our nation? That would be none other than former President Barack Hussein “Barry Soetero” Obama and the cabal of globalists he has worked with on both domestic and foreign policy. The fact is, once some of the most important things are being addressed in the upcoming Trump Administration, a special committee needs to be convened to detail how the Biden Administration covered-up for 4 years the fact Joe Biden was a virtual mental vegetable incapable of running the nation. THIS TYPE OF FRAUD CAN NOT, MUST NOT, EVER HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD DID IT NOT DESTROY OUR NATION WHICH WAS THE ULTIMATE GOAL!

In his final weeks as the supposed President, look at the destructive things that has been done in his name in just the last week. Last week Biden awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal which is given to citizens of the United States of America who have performed exemplary deeds of service, to the head of the bogus January 6th Committee Bennie Thompson and his number one stooge Liz Cheney. This past weekend Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award the President can bestow upon an individual, to 17 people. People such as Bill Nye, the fake science guy, Hall of Fame basketball star Earvin “Magic” Johnson, actor Michael J. Fox, soccer star Lionel Messi, U2 front man Bono, actor Denzel Washington, and many more. Also receiving this honor was George Romney, the Mormon cultist father of Willard Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, and wait for it, THE EVIL AND SATANICALLY INSPIRED GEORGE SOROS! The other day Biden signed an Executive Order to ban drilling on over 625,000 million acres of prime offshore oil and gas reserves to try and thwart Trump’s attempt to maximize our natural resources. Sunday evening he took a few questions from the press and ended up in a rage at one question telling the press he has known more world leaders than anyone of them ever will in their “G @-D@& ” life. Yesterday Biden banned gas fueled tankless hot water heaters used by millions to keep heating costs down. Monday he went to New Orleans for a photo op with the families of those who lost their lives in the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack, attending a church service where he of course fell asleep. Lastly Biden released 11 Yemeni terrorists from GITMO to resettle in Oman. In his final 12 days expect hundreds of never before issued “preemptive pardons” for people like Fauci, Cheney, Gen. Milley, Jack Smith, and many others who committed crimes not yet charged during the Biden Administration. My guess is those pardons will be challenged in court and it will be interesting to see if a preemptive pardon is even legal. Stay tuned since the Obama led Biden Administration will continue to do all in their power to sabotage the incoming Trump Administration in the final days of this illegitimate administration!

One of the great hymns of the church is, “It is well with my soul.” What makes the words of this hymn so powerful are the circumstances during which they were written. I have always loved this great hymn, loved it even more decades ago when I read the story behind it. In recent years as I have gotten older, I have actually began listening to the words in a different way. It became not just a great hymn of the faith, but a real spiritual challenge to me personally. A challenge that I will make to you at the end of today’s Daily Devotional.

The author, Horatio G. Spafford (1828-1888), was a Presbyterian layman from Chicago. He had established a very successful legal practice as a young businessman and was also a devout Christian. Among his close friends were several evangelists including the famous Dwight L. Moody, also from Chicago.

Spafford’s fortune evaporated in the wake of the great Chicago Fire of 1871. Having invested heavily in real estate along Lake Michigan’s shoreline, he lost everything overnight. In a saga reminiscent of Job, his son died a short time before his financial disaster. But the worst was yet to come.

Hymnologist Kenneth Osbeck tells the story: “Desiring a rest for his wife and four daughters as well as wishing to join and assist Moody and [his musician Ira] Sankey in one of their campaigns in Great Britain, Spafford planned a European trip for his family in 1873. In November of that year, due to unexpected last-minute business developments, he had to remain in Chicago, but sent his wife and four daughters on ahead as scheduled on the S.S. Ville du Havre. He expected to follow in a few days.

“On November 22 the ship was struck by the Lochearn, an English vessel, and sank in twelve minutes. Several days later the survivors were finally landed at Cardiff, Wales, and Mrs. Spafford cabled her husband, ‘Saved alone.’”

Spafford left immediately to join his wife. This hymn is said to have been penned as he approached the area of the ocean thought to be where the ship carrying his daughters had sunk.

Another daughter, Bertha, was born in 1878 as well as a son, Horatio, in 1880, though he later died of scarlet fever. After the birth of daughter Grace in 1881, Spafford and his wife moved to Jerusalem out of a deep interest in the Holy Land. There they established the American Colony, a Christian utopian society engaged in philanthropic activities among Jews, Muslims and Christians.

The somber and peaceful music was written by gospel songwriter Philip Bliss (1838-1876).

Lyrics 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.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

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.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

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

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord! Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Today is a day when I don’t want to say anything to dilute these powerful words that Spafford penned. I want you to read them for yourself. My challenge to you is the same challenge I have posed to myself. As I sit here this very moment, with all of the issues of life that are present as there always are, can I honestly say to my God...it is well with my soul!

CAN YOU SAY TODAY, "it is well with my soul?"


In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
