Verse from Job

“约伯却对她说：「你说话像愚顽的妇人一样。嗳！难道我们从上帝手里得福，不也受祸吗？」在这一切的事上约伯并不以口犯罪。”

约伯记 2:10 

“He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.”

Job 2:10 

Job lost his children, his wealth, and his health. But after hearing the news, Job 1:20 tells us “he fell to the ground in worship.” When advised to curse God, he said, “Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” (2:10). 

What a radical initial response. Though Job later complained, ultimately he accepted that God had never changed. Job knew that God was still with him and that He still cared.

Lord, 

prepare me for the times when praise is most difficult to utter.
