In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. Ecclesiastes 7:14 (KJV)
The children of God are admonished not to live in ignorance of the Holy Scriptures, Hosea 4:6. God is the creator of times and events. The New International Version makes the opening Scripture clearer, it says, “When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.” God wants us to be aware that He creates both good times and bad time and we need to prepare for both times. In times of prosperity be joyful, save, and invest to prepare for the bad times so that you don’t feel the intensity of it. Having this knowledge in you helps you to order your life and prepare well for the future so that you don’t complain, especially when the times are bad. May the Lord guide you to discern, order your life, and face the future with certainty. Hallelujah! Be An Overcomer!
