Ecclesiastes 7:14a

“In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider-God has made the one as well as the other.” (KJV)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“In the day of prosperity (towb: good, better, well, goodness, best, merry, fair, favor) be happy, But in the day of adversity (ra`: evil, wickedness, mischief, hurt, trouble, affliction, grievous, sad) consider-God has made the one as well as the other.”

SUMMARY

Be happy in your days of goodness and favor but remember, when the days of trouble and affliction come, God is the maker of them all.

MEDITATION

Are you one of the kind who, whenever anything goes, what you would deem, bad, you blame the devil and rant and rave about how you’ve been attacked? Well, let this verse encourage you! Every day is the Lord’s and He is the maker of them all. We will have good days filled with joy and we will have bad days riddled with hurt – this my friend is life. In the days of adversity, look to God and thank Him. In the days of trouble, turn your mourning into dancing. In the days of sadness, tell the whole world of His greatness… for He is the maker of one as well as the other.
