Job 2:10
Job 2:10 ...Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?...
It's easy to praise God when things are going well for us, though sometimes people forget even to do that much. It's another thing to praise God when things are going poorly. I've heard multiple sermons preached where the speaker reminds us what a hard thing this can be to do. Seeing as it's something I've done on several occassions I don't think it's such a harm thing to do as others would have you believe. I think that when Job praised God he did that so that He would not curse God. What better way to stop from becoming bitter against God than to remember how wonderful He is? If no matter what you're going through you keep your eyes on how great God is then you won't be tempted to blame God for your circumstances. A heart of worship worships continueally regardless of circumstances.
