won't take anything for granted

I found this interesting bit in the bible today it comes from Ecclesiastes, near the end of the book.

NIV(New International Version)
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.

NLT(New Living Translation)
Enjoy prosperity while you can. But when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. That way you will realize that nothing is certain in this life.

MSG (The Message Paraphrase)
On a good day, enjoy yourself; On a bad day, examine your conscience. God arranges for both kinds of days So that we won't take anything for granted.
