Life is full of ups and downs. These events serve a purpose. They help keep things in perspective. If life was sweet all the time, we would eventually lose our taste for sweet. If it was always bad, we may not want to live anymore. This balance is put into place to keep our fickle, human nature from sprouting wings and taking us to places we don’t want to go. Too much of a good thing is just as bad as too much of a terrible thing. It’s all about balance. The way we see things, our world view, matters. It determines everything. I used to have a sign in my classroom that read, “it’s not what happens to us in life that matters, it’s how we handle it”. Having a biblical worldview isn’t popular, easy to live by, or always fun, but it’s the only view that gives us hope. Hope in Jesus. It anchors our soul.
27 It’s not good to eat too much honey, and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.
