Life is a blessing, but guess what, it’s also a dead end street. God is so gracious to us and the Bible says that through the Lord’s mercies we’re not consumed, because His compassions fail not and they’re new every morning . . . .
Life under the sun as Soloman always talks about in Ecclesisties, life under the sun is really jacked up. It’s just that God’s grace and his mercies are new every morning. So we don’t get to see that, we don’t get to see the soft underbelly of this thing every day. And so when we say God how could you let this happen to me, I say God how could you let me live this life so beautifully for all this time? How could you bless me like you bless me day in and day out, day in and day out? How could you do that?
Kirk Whalum, The Gospel According to Jazz - Chapter III
