"Trusting God" by Jerry Bridges

In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider-- God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not discover anything that will be after him. (Ecclesiastes 7:14, NASB)

God does as He pleases, and that which pleases Him is always for His glory and our good.

"God's providence is His constant care for and His absolute rule over all His creation for His own glory and the good of His people." - Jerry Bridges

Luke 5:32 "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance"

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

(Hebrews 11:6)

Pride is the presumption that we can be happy without depending on God as the source of our happiness and without caring if others find their happiness in God. Pride is the passion to be happy contaminated and corrupted by two things:

1) the unwillingness to see God as the only fountain of true and lasting joy, and

2) the unwillingness to see other people as designed by God to receive our joy in Him. If you take the desire to be happy and strip away from it God as the fountain of your happiness, and people as the recipients of your happiness, what you have left is pride.

Pride is the pursuit of happiness anywhere but in the glory of God and the good of other people.

- John MacArthur
