It Shall Be Well for the Righteous

Say ye to the righteous, "It shall be well with them." Isaiah 3:10

There are none righteous in themselves, but there is a multitude of whom it can be said, "They believed God and it was credited to them for righteousness." To them, and only to them does this blessed comfort go, "It shall be well with them." It shall be well with them and all times. Day or night, any season, work or play, it shall be well with them. It shall be well with them in all circumstances. It may not always be pleasant, but it shall always be well. It is as well with them upon their deathbed as upon the familiar pillow of their bedroom. Whether they travel by land, sea or air, it shall be well with them. In wartime as well as peacetime, it shall be well with them. It shall be well with them regardless of their weaknesses and failures. Is today a day of seeming victory and advancement in the things of God? It shall be well with them. Is today a day of seeming defeat and retreat in those same matters: it shall still be well with them! It shall be well with them no matter how it is with anyone else. "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. (Ps. 91:7) But most of all, say to the righteous, to those sinners who trust the Lord Jesus, that in that day when God shall unleash the pent?up fury of Divine wrath on this world and the inhabitants thereof, when God shall judge this entire world by Jesus Christ, when many an outwardly righteous man along with the obviously wicked and perverse of this world shall be bound hand and foot and cast into the lake of fire ? that in that day, it shall be well with them!
