Enjoy Prosperity

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 NLT

We often thank God during the good times, but it tends to be more difficult to thank God during the tough times; however like James says, "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing" (James 1:2-4 NLT).

With this perspective taking the good with the bad becomes much easier; especially when we realize He uses both to conform us to the image of Jesus Christ.
