Through the Bible: EcclesiastesSample

God Brings New Blessings

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)

God allows different events to happen in our lives, the good and the bad. We must learn to accept and understand that God has allowed these to happen out of His sovereignty and providence. Life is full of unexpected events which makes us realise that life can’t always be in our control. 

Looking at the pandemic that we are going through, we see that it was totally unexpected and beyond our control. However, we must learn how to live and adapt to it, so that this season becomes a new life experience for us. It becomes a time for us to seek God’s presence strongly and deeply. We can view it as discipline to bring our soul to higher ground as well that God will bring new blessings. 

Prayer

Lord, we thank You for all the events in our life. Lord help us to keep a humble heart and to remember that You are the one in control of every circumstance. We thank You that in every event, we have the opportunity to experience Your Love and that You allow us to come closer to You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
