The Golden Nugget

By Mike Hall, February 6, 2026

In every life there are pinnacle moments

when God smiles upon us

and all is good

For balance sake perhaps

there are seasons of storms that

rock the boat that once sailed

so smoothly and lulled us

into believing that He had wrapped

us securely in a cocoon of contentment

This cocoon is a mirage

Mr. Spafford reminds us all that

there’s a little golden nugget

planted in each and every soul

Surely, he was sailing through another day

looking forward to a family vacation across the pond

when the pond erupted like a volcano

The fact that he faced this storm

and then wrote the song It is well with my soul

makes one believe this golden nugget

is as bright and mighty as the sun.
