One as Well as the Other
“In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.” – Ecclesiastes 7:14 (ESV)
Nothing in this life is certain. God brings to us both times of abundance, and also places challenges in our path to teach us, strengthen our resolve, and draw us to His side. When we realize that His hand guides both seasons, and that all things are architected for our greater good (Romans 8:28), the unknown nature of our future seems much less daunting.
