Hagion - holy & sacred stuff


Welcome to my randomized study & miscellaneous thoughts about the Awesome God of the universe, who He is and what He wants us to be.

Hagion   (hag'-ee-on):
  1. reverend
  2. set apart for God, to be as it were, exclusively his
  3. services and offerings
  4. in a moral sense, pure sinless upright holy.
(from Theological Dictionary of the New Testament)

How Well Is Your Soul?

I just finished reading an interesting piece over at the blog, Soul Thirst regarding the background of the hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" and a nice reflection on the song and its meaning to us today.

Afterward, I had to write to Andy Chang and commented that, "Lovely thought...and song. A very poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of material wealth and the rapidity with with our physical lives will be lost. I have loved singing this song in the shower and did know the story behind already, but, as with Job's example, I pray that I am never faced with a trial in this manner.

I see the song as a reminder to take a "God view" of our life on earth and our circumstances and also to remember Proverbs 23:7a
"For as he thinks within himself, so he is." (NAS) "

Thanks for the thought today Andy. May it be well with your soul!
Dr. Larry
