God vs. The Good Life

TAKEAWAY: Life is good…for the most part. It is that other part (that part that isn’t so good) that should remind us not to hope in this life. The disappointments of this life can cause us frustration and lead us to complain against God, yet God intends them to break us from trusting in them rather than his promises. The account of the seven trumpets illustrates God’s efforts to frustrate and overthrow the kingdom of man. How does your life demonstrate the conviction that a godly life is better than a comfortable or successful life?
