Times of plenty, times of lack

For what is man's lot from God above, his heritage from the Almighty on high?

Job 31:2 (NIV)

Job still recognizes God as the Almighty and provider. Even in his loss, he doesn't sit around thinking about what was lost that he earned for himself. He recognizes that all he has and all he will leave comes from God. Perhaps it's my arrogance or my level of comfort that makes me think Wow, I just got a raise. Let me go out and reward myself with a new guitar. I need to constantly remember that all that I have doesn't come because I've got a great job, but it has come because God has provided it for me. In my times of plenty and in my times of lack, all that I have has come from God. And... it is good.
