DISCUSSION :
We’ve
each experienced some of the happiest moments in life: marriage, birth of a
child, a good doctors report, a loved one returning from war, promotions,
financial success, and the list goes on. However, we’ve each also endured tough
times; loss of a loved one, loss of a job, financial setback, family or friend
going to war, etc.
What
Solomon is saying here is that in our lifetime, we will experience both good
times and bad, victories and defeat, sadness and joy. God knows when these
peaks and valleys will occur for each of us and he wants to help, but we must
allow him to help.
This
week we will look at some points to help us maintain proper perspective through
the ebbs and flows of life.
