“When times are good, be happy. But when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one time as well as the other so that mortals cannot predict their future.” Ecc. 7:14
The good times don’t always roll. That is just the way life is. And when they don’t, how should we respond? “Why me, God?” “This isn’t fair, God!” “If God is good, how could He let this happen?” No. The advice here is to stop and consider. Consider that God is the God of the good times and the bad times. He works in ways that are often mysterious to us. We may not be able to predict our future, but we may be certain that He alone who knows the end from the beginning has it well under control.
