Essentially, the Preacher wants us to understand that because God ordains days of both blessing and hardship, there is a place for both in our fallen creation. We should not think that days of trouble are any less from the hand of God than are days of ease and abundance. This will help prevent us from thinking that the Lord is acting less kindly toward us on our difficult days than He is on our easy ones.

“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

Being on the wrong end of this particular equation at the moment, this is an excellent morning devotional as a reminder of God's power. Thank you for the post.

Bless your day.

Life often fluctuates between good days and bad days, but both are from God. Only He understands how all this works out. We should therefore trust in Him and His goodness.

Coram Deo

As we grow in faith, we should find ourselves increasingly aware that our hard days are from the Lord no less than our good ones,

Yes. God is good.
