On the paradox of blessings as both a source of comfort and a prelude to challenges, likening to the calm before a storm—writes Mujeeb Jaihoon
Life is a beautiful combo of faith and foresight. In this divine narrative, periods of blessing and ease are often a subtle warning: a “spoiler alert” for the upcoming trials. A true believer learns to read these signs: the greatest comfort can precede the most significant test. Indeed, blessings are a sign of His love, and trials are the test of our love.
When life flows smoothly, when every door seems to open and every prayer gets answered, it’s easy to get lost in ease. We cherish these moments of peace, and every day filled with grace feels like a gift. This sense of abundance is meant to fortify us for what lies ahead. It’s what makes the heart feel secure, even when the horizon is clear and the skies are blue.
Abundance of blessings may rather be the spoiler alerts for the trials that are hidden behind the deceptive veil of destiny. The more we lean into this abundance with gratitude and humility, the better we are equipped for the challenges to come. This preparedness encourages us to remain vigilant and trust completely in God’s wisdom, a beautiful state of surrender and readiness.
