God Has Made Them Both

Eccl. 7:14 says this:  "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."  The trusting and delighting consideration that God makes both the day of prosperity and the day of adversity is essential for being a joyful, sober-minded, and hope-filled Christian in a world where two contrary kinds of experiences are frequently juxtaposed: the birth of a baby or a marriage and the diagnosis of your deadly disease or death of a loved one.  Who will not go mad or suffer utter confusion (assuming you are sober, your eyes are open, and your head is not in the sand) if God is not seen and trusted with delight to be governing all things wisely and well--and doing so for our everlasting good?
