The Thousand Little Things

Job 12:5 "People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling." there is something in our nature as humans that causes us to some how think that our success is the result of our efforts and it is easy to mock those in trouble, when we ourselves are at ease. But Job is a good reminder that every good gift comes from God and yes we are co-labors with him and we have a part to play in our success and prosperity, but our obedience and good decisions are only a part of the whole. Without God's favor and grace our best efforts would end in failure and our good decisions would only take us so far. Pride causes us to boast in ourselves and forget about the thousand little things that fell into place in order for us to achieve the success that we have. It is those thousand little things that can only be marked up to God's grace and favor that truly make our lives successful.(being in the right place at the right time, the unexpected connection, the accidental appointments) May we always remember the key to our success is God and may we never be found pushing down those who are stumbling. Remember difference between those on top and those on bottom is always the grace and favor of God
