“When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other” (Ecclesiastes 7:14).
Mara nyingi makusudi ya Mungu hujitambulisha kwa njia ya mateso ya mtu. "Siku ya kufanikiwa ufurahi, na siku ya mabay ufikiri. Mungu ameifanya hiyo moja kwenda sambamba na hiyo ya pili..." (Mhubiri 7:14).
