Hilarious times

Hilarious times

Eccl. 7:14

IN THE DAY OF PROSPERITY BE JOYFUL [when you receive temporal gifts from God, enjoy them, be thankful and do good with them]

but IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITY [when your back is against the wall, feeling that nothing else could be left to possibly go wrong and this time will never end]

CONSIDER [regard it as this]

that GOD ALSO HAS SET THE ONE OVER AGAINST THE OTHER, [has made them both – they are both by his appointment, and are set in their proper place, and come in their proper time; succeed each other, and answer to one another, as day and night, summer and winter, and work together for the good of men]

SO THAT man may not find out anything that shall be after him. [man will look back and find nothing that was meaningless; will understand that it’s not in his power to set his future; finding nothing to blame God for after considering His purpose]

Pray the Word:                                                       

Lord, why is it that when times are HILARLIOUSLY GOOD [going our way] we take it that You are really blessing us – but, in the times when things are going HILARIOUSLY BAD [nothing is seemingly going our way], we take it that You don’t care, aren’t paying attention and, maybe, You are even a figment of our imagination? Knowing that it is You who has balanced prosperity and adversity against each other; we now understand that were it not so, how easy it would be to put the former in the place of You!
