“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 (ESV)
Nothing in this life is certain. God brings to us both times of abundance, and also places challenges in our path to teach us, strengthen our resolve, and draw us to His side. When we realize that His hand guides both seasons, and that all things are architected for our greater good (Romans 8:28), the unknown nature of our future seems much less daunting.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 








Amen! Things came seem overwhelming if we do not realize God is in control and has plans to prosper us. Great encouragement!
Phil, this isn’t a new truth to me, but the way you shared it really resonates with my spirit today. There is such comfort in knowing that all my days, both good and bad, are held in God’s Loving Hands, and He is working all things together for my good.
