When we were at the peak of success in life, and suddenly thrown into the abyss of blackness very powerful, when all that is ours suddenly terrenggut our fingers without our power to defend it, when our life goes not as we expected, Can we still give thanks to God? Are we still able to believe that "life is in the hands pemeliharaanMu"? And are we still able to faithfully follow Him? Of course this is not an easy question to answer. Theoretical probably no problem for us to answer it, but realistically, the answer to this question requires a struggle and pain truly remarkable.
A Horation G. Spafford able to do so. Although the expression of gratitude and lamentation, between hope and grief are only separated by a very thin bulkhead, but Spafford eventually arrive at a firm answer: "yes, I would be grateful, I will continue to believe and I want to remain faithful."
Horatio G. Spafford was born in North Troy, New York on 20 October 1828. He is a highly successful young lawyer in Chicago. Career success course followed fairfax ca zip by financial success. Spafford is a picture of a man who - perhaps - almost close to ideal, a picture of the life of the dream of almost everyone. Why not? He was successful in his career, he is rich, he has a happy family with a wife and four beautiful daughters. He is also a man who cared for church services and at the same time that have a deep spiritual life.
But not in this life sometimes "lucky can not be achieved, the poor can not be denied"? Mysteries of life that are often only able to be faced with a strong and unwavering faith. A few months before the events of the devastating fires that hit the city of Chicago fairfax ca zip in 1871, Spafford just embed almost fairfax ca zip his entire fortune on real estate projects (residential complex) which was built on the shores of Lake Michigan shore. The huge fire in an instant has swept all his wealth. After the disaster Spafford decided to devote his life to helping services performed by the famous preacher fairfax ca zip of the time - DL Moody - and ecclesiastical famous fairfax ca zip musician - Ira D. Sankey, who was then traveling services to the UK. Spafford is planning to make a trip to Europe along with his entire family. fairfax ca zip But on the eve of his departure, sudden business trip that she must finish. That's why he asked his wife and four daughters to leave first, while it Spafford will follow after the completion of business affairs in Chicago. fairfax ca zip However, on November 22, 1873, the ship boarded by his wife and four children in an accident with another ship and sank to the ocean floor in just 12 minutes. A few days after the survivors managed to land in Cardiff, Wales, UK, ny. Spafford sent a telegram to her husband in Chicago that it says: "just survive alone" (saved alone). That is none other than that the fourth daughter drowned in a shipwreck. With a heart and feeling very hurt, Spafford soon followed to England. When he was taken to the place where her four daughters drowned that he - on board - write the text of the song that we know today. The text is clear reveals kedukaanya very deep - which unfortunately the song translation, expression of grief is not too visible (what may make that one of the weaknesses of a translation of the song) - as he wrote in the original text "when sorrows like sea rolled roaring" (text translation: "and although the pain full"). However Spafford not stop at the cries and laments. He continued the text - especially in the third and fourth stanzas - with a firm conviction of the love of Christ, and His saving work of grandeur coming fairfax ca zip soon. That is why he repeatedly wrote "Slamatlah, slamatlah my soul".
Horatio G. Spafford is a human being, like me and you. His heart was broken and crushed his soul, when he found everything that has been fostered, nurtured and embraced in the warmth of affection, suddenly torn and disaster fairfax ca zip swept drift. Namu
