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.
Application:
God allows both good times and bad times to come to
everyone. He blends them in our lives in such a way that we can't predict the
future or count on human wisdom and power. We usually give ourselves the credit
for the good times. Then in bad times, we tend to blame God without thanking
him for the good that comes out of it.
When life appears certain and controllable, don't let self-satisfaction or complacency make you too comfortable, or God may allow bad times to drive you back to him. When life seems uncertain and uncontrollable, don't despair - God is in control and will bring good results out of tough times.
