Omoluabi Podcast | Season 6 Episode 5
PROVERB CONSIDERED: “Ajá tó máa rún ọkà á láyà; ológbò to máa jẹ àkèré á ki ojú bọ omi.” (Translation: "A dog that will chew dried corn must be brave; a cat that will eat a frog will dip its face in water.")
REFLECTION
Dogs' teeth aren't suited to chewing corn, so they risk dental damage by doing so. Similarly, a cat's pursuit of frogs can be perilous. The proverb therefore reminds us that, in life, getting what you really want often comes at a price. Great achievements require great dedication. Extraordinary feats demand extraordinary effort. To conquer a significant challenge, one must exert considerable force. As such, we reflected on the above proverb emphasising the need to start embracing this principle of "paying the price" right from when we are young! As Lamentations 3:27 says, "it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline" (NLT). We also reflected on examples of what this has looked like in our own lives.
