       For the bad news that there is, there is probably at least a hundred times as many neutral and good things that have happened. The vast majority of the time, things go how there are supposed to go. Use your own life to understand that point. It’s rare your car breaks down, or that you are sick in bed, or hopefully that you get in a big fight with someone. It is rare that your residence has a major problem, that your possessions get stolen, or that things even take a turn for the worse at your workplace. The Bible clearly tells us that what is happening now has already happened in the past, that really, in the final analysis, there is nothing new going on. Remember? That’s what King Solomon has taught us in Ecclesiastes. At times it seems like something new is happening, but really it has already happened in some way, shape, or form. Sure, new technology might be invented, but even that can be similar to what has been in the past. Really, it’s a comforting thought to consider this. It means that God didn’t lose control in the past when bad things were happening back then, and so he’s certainly not going to lose control now when bad things are happening.
