G-d's calendar: 8th day, 1st month, year 5771

Job 42:1,6,12
Then Job answered YHWH, and said . . .Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes . . . So YHWH blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

I Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of G-d, that he may exalt you in due time:

We often emphasize the "trials" and burdens of living a life set apart to G-d. And I am certainly not advocating a "feel good" prosperity gospel that denies personal sacrifice. There s so much being taught and accepted these days, that polarizes. We have those that think prosperity is a sign of G-d's blessing and it certainly can be. We have those that feel simplicity and denial of luxury is dedicated to G-d, and it can be, as well; but . . . bot can also happen by man's own doing. If we are walking a life pleasing to G-d, He will tend to our supply and position in life.
