WHAT INSPIRED THE WRITTEN OF THE SONG; IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.

*The song "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford*.
**************************
*His only son died at age 4 in 1871, in 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate, made from a successful legal career* *In 1873, he sent his wife and 4 daughters over to Europe on a summer trip on the ill fated 'SS Ville du Havre'* *Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later.* *The Ship sank & he lost his 4 daughters with the wife being the only survivor. She sent him a famous telegram which simply read, "SAVED ALONE"* *On his return home, his law firm was burned down and the insurance company refused to pay him*. *They said "It's an Act of God". He had no money to pay for his house and no work, he also lost his house* *Then while sitting and thinking what's happening to him, being a spiritual person, he wrote a song* -> *"Whatever my lot, You have taught me to say - "It is well, it is well, with my soul"* *My dear friend, a good ATTITUDE will determine your ALTITUDE* *When you look at your life, career, job or family life, what do you say?* *Do u praise God? Do you blame the devil?  "A good attitude towards God makes Him move on yr behalf, Just sit down and say-> "Today God, it is well with my soul, I am thankful I had a peaceful sleep, I am thankful I am alive with possibilities, I am thankful I have a roof over me, I am thankful I have a job, I am thankful that I hv Family & Friends* *Above all, I am thankful that I have the Lord Jesus Christ on my side* *Be blessed, & don't be envious or shocked wen others are prospering bc u don't know what they have been thru to get there (test, trials & tribulation) so thank God for what you have*.  *Little is much when God is in it. It Is Well With My Soul*  *Touch someone's life with this message. "If God is for us, who can be against us"?*
*God has seen you struggling with something. God says it's over.*
*If you believe in God, pass it on!!!*
Good morning Brethren have  a nice day and remain blessed in Jesus name. Amen.

Are we under any obligation to praise God?

Yes!!! Our sole purpose in life is to praise God. To buttress more on this point, the book of psalms explains how important it is for us ...
