Just my thoughts #0454

I often say that the small things you consistently practice each day will change your life. People may think it is difficult to do so. However, this doesn’t mean that the practice itself is easy or hard; rather, it’s challenging to prioritize that little task every day. Why? Small things happen daily, and results take time to manifest, while small changes don’t significantly influence our profits. However, if these practices are regular and steady, it presents a different story. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0451

The most difficult writing in the Bible that I’ve ever read is ‘Job.’ In introducing ‘Job,’ the Bible states that he was a rich man of strong faith and the head of a happy family, but it does not explain the origins of the blessings he enjoyed. As he endures indescribable hardships, the reasons for his suffering remain unclear. In other words, he was blessed without explanation and suffered without explanation. The first part of the book of Job, which describes his blessings, contrasts with the latter part, in which he loses everything and eventually recovers for the first time. Yet, there is no explanation for this recovery either. Job’s life serves as a profound example of human experience. For many, the most painful aspect is to enjoy blessings without reason and to lose those blessings without reason. Our lives compel us to confront this reality, and that is the essence of our existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
