Thanks for reading and commenti...Greetings, friend,<br />Thanks for reading and commenting. In response to your question, I found the NIV version of this verse a little less puzzling: <br />When times are good, be happy;<br /> but when times are bad, consider this:<br />God has made the one<br /> as well as the other.<br />Therefore, no one can discover<br /> anything about their future."<br /><br />I suspect it is God's mercy that protects us from seeing our future. Instead of showing us the end from the beginning, he teaches us to trust him day by day to order the events of our lives as He knows best. I'm so glad I don't have to figure everything out, aren't you? Blessings to you today!Lori Hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675180460653949981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027870719667125440.post-64924493079269916352020-05-01T12:05:05.509-04:002020-05-01T12:05:05.509-04:00I am so sorry, my friend.
