day no. 15,459: trouble or treasure

"Because God speaks, Job has everything even though he has nothing. Because God is silent, Ecclesiastes has nothing even though he has everything." -- Peter Kreeft, Three Philosophies of Life

God's Word is more than a world full of trouble.

God's silence is worse than a world full of treasure.

If God speaks, the greatest of suffering can be overcome by hope.

If God is silent, the greatest of riches cannot overcome the hopelessness.
