29 thoughts on “When you are down, God holds you up”
Through the love of God our Saviour All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favor; All must be well;
Precious is the Love that healed us, Perfect is the grace that sealed us, Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us;
All, all is well.
Though we pass through tribulation, All will be well;
Ours is such a full salvation, All must be well;
Happy still, in God confiding, Fruitful, when in Christ abiding, Holy, through the Spirit’s guiding;
All, all is well.
We expect a bright tomorrow, All will be well;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow, All must be well;
While His truth we are applying, And upon His love relying, God is every need supplying,
All, all is well.
I just love this hymn…350.
Thank you for the uplift today Evan.❣️
Thank you Barbara for sharing this favorite hymn we sang so often when children; reading it today helps me realize we were “leaning on the sustaining infinite” through our wilderness experience, which blessing us -we then ‘kissed the cross, & waked to know a world more bright’.
Thanks for sharing that special hymn as it brings out our need for a Christian response to our deepest concerns. It all begins with a profound faith in God’s goodness and blossoms in a fuller understanding of God’s love expressed as reliable divine law that governs every human condition.
We can all expect a bright tomorrow.
Hi Barbara – I will be flying to the UK this afternoon (6/14) and I love that you wrote out one of my favorite hymns. Thank you so much – it has helped to calm my stomach and helped me to remember – that -“Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us” helped me to know that I have a shield with me always to keep all error away. Thanks again.
With all the others I wholeheartedly agree. Fact & Fable written in1939 is an enlightened and applicable article. Thanks once again Angie, we are grateful for your finding and sharing.
Angie thank you so much for highlighting this article. It is exactly what I needed for encouragement today. I’ll be reading it many more times to get certain parts engraved upon my heart and thought. Thank you.
Thank you dear Angie! That article is wonderful and very needed and helpful!♡
Thank you very much dear Evan for your loving help into our day with God!
The words are so comforting: “What I cannot do humanly, God can do spiritually.” That helped me to start the day joyfully expecting Good as God is all good!.
I also Love that hymn very much, thank you dear Barbara, I sang it.♡
Wow, SpiritView and all the comments is always an inspiration to read – thanks all!♡
Thank you Evan for this on the spot message. I needed it this morning. It is a daily blessing. And so are the insights from the readers.
And Angie thank you for the link to Louise K. W. Cook’s powerful article. Very helpful.
So right on Evan & everyone. Thank you! I even sent a comment on Louise K.W. Cook’s article to publisher’s editors…such guiding and inspiring thoughts, so relevant to today. Thank you so much!
Yes Linda I too love that statement. I’ve also heard it said as, “I might be down to nothing, but my God is up to something” [something good].
I tried to discover who the quote is attributed to but all I found was that a book with that title, When You are Down To Nothing, God is Up To Something, was written by a Christian author named Robert Schuller.
Bottom line? Let God hold us up, turn everything over to Him, with trust and gratitude. He knows what’s true and how to straighten things out. My so-called mortal thoughts get it wrong every time so why should I listen to their interpretation of things?
Thank you to everyone for being here in words and in spirit and in Love. Grateful to be among you.
Thank you Rose. And also thank you so much for very thoughtfully including the article “When Something Seems Impossible to Fix” by Virgina Anders in yesterday’s blog!
When we reach the bottom, there is only one way to go, and that is up. The Christ is
right there still with us, ready to lift our thoughts into the light. God is always holding us up
in the light and we never ever really can go down into the dumps of material misery because
there is no reality in it and therefore no power. The only things that can go down into the
dumps are false claims – and we can dump them there at any time and let them be dissolved
into their “native nothingness.” I love the Psalm:: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth help. He will not suffer
they fot to be moved…..”.
Thank you from me also Angie for the excellent article – very relevant today, as someone
else has remarked. And, of course, many thanks to Evan as always. Just a few words
makes us think and lift our thoughts.
Thank-you for the inspiration, Evan, and thank-you, Karen, for sharing one of my all-time favorite hymns, #350, with the comforting refrain, “All will be well” and “All, all is well.” I just shared Evan’s message with a very close long-time friend who is struggling with a health problem and with issues her grown son is experiencing. I trust that she will find the words comforting.
Oh! What a treasure trove of wonderful, inspiring messages today! Evan, this is EXACTLY what I needed to read, after I received a call at 4:30 this morning of someone in dire need.…Beginning with “When you are down, God hold you up!” And our dearly loved hymn- one I’ve used frequently for memorial services (& rejoicing!!), as well as the remarkable article thanks to Angie, make today’s SpiritView exceptional!! I’m keeping it and sharing it with anyone I know who may need lifting up today!
Love & blessings❤️❤️
Thanks to all for your sharing and especially Angie for that outstanding
article = most helpful. Sometimes I have felt I had reached the bottom of
the pit, only to find out there was no bottom. It seemed endless. Of course
that is a lie which must be corrected with the Truth that God is ALL –
omnipresent and the ONLY power.
Thank very much, Evan, and all of you. And thanks, Angie, for this article. Just what I needed today. I can see it was written two months after the II World War started. Now the world is “facing” the danger of a new war and so many other material things. This article is very timely for us to not be deceived and to reverse every Goliath with the Truth and spiritual authority. All, all is well, as the hymn #350 says, as God is telling us every moment. Thank you, Barbara, for post it.
If any of our dear family has not checked Angie’s suggested article …Fact and Fable,
It’s a must! Note it was written in 1939, so important for today.
Thanks Angie, as always!

This is from the lesson and it fits so well with what Evan is saying I wanted to share it.

Dear Evan,– Love your opening sentence, “When you are down to nothing, God is up to something”. This will stay with me.
