Bible verse in Yoruba:

Orin Dafidi 34:01 – EMI o ma fi ibukún fun Oluwa nigbagbogbo: Iyìn rẹ̀ yio ma wà li ẹnu mi titi lai.

Key: There was a man in the bible called Job; Job lost all he had and was also afflicted with a sore from his head to the sole of his feet. Job’s wife couldn’t take it anymore and asked him to let go of his self esteem and curse God. Job made a very valuable statement in Job 2:10, he said “Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”… this question struck my heart and then I began to wonder how many times things had gone wrong and we blame God; we call him names, we say he isn’t faithful, we even call him a disappointment, forgetting all the good things He had done in time past and will still do in times to come. 

When we receive Good from God we are mostly very happy that most of us go for testimonies, we glorify God and say sweet things to him but it’s so painful that we still say evil to God with that same mouth when things go bad.

“I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

In good times and in bad, even when things do not go as planned, even when we feel confused, even when we don’t get what we want, His praise should continually be in our mouths. 

Reflection: Bless God even in the good times and in the bad times.
