Wisdom Squandered, Day 15

We are to rejoice in all of God’s activities. Read Ecclesiastes 7:13-22.

Praising God and rejoicing in him when everything is going well is super easy. Praising God and rejoicing in him when everything is falling apart around you, that’s much more challenging. It can be hard to see God’s hand in those difficult times. Yet, Solomon brings forward this incredible truth in this verse. The good times and the bad times… God created them both. They are both a reflection of the character of who he is, and they are both meant to bring him glory.

We are to praise God and rejoice through the wins and successes, and when times are easy. Then, we are to praise and rejoice him in the struggles and the trials, and when it’s hard to put one foot in front of the other. There is no guarantee that our life is going to be easy. God never promises that everything will go the way we want it to.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we follow him, no matter where the path leads. God is going to allow us to go through hard times because that’s what he deems is the next best step for us. Whether we’re going through good times or bad, are we praising God in the midst of it?
