“Enjoy prosperity while you can,
but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God.
Remember that nothing is certain in this life.”
Ecclesiastes 7:14
encouragement for today
A timely verse for now! Hard times are also from God. They have a purpose: to keep us dependent and not too tied to this world. During the good times, we can be lulled into thinking that this is all there is to life. Hard times force us to reflect on ultimate realities. Or so they should.
—Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
