Quoted: Kenneth Haggestrom on Praise
I feel like praising Him. But I praise Him no matter how I feel. God is more concerned with our character than our comfort. Character will cause you to praise in seeming dire circumstances. Chains?

Eliot quotes (American born English Editor, Playwright, Poet and Critic, 1888-1965) In the flesh, Joshua had much to risk. Loss of respect. Ridicule. Defeat. Failure.

The Foolishness of God
I Corinthians 1:19-25 Luke 1:26-38 Mary was a virgin, incapable of giving birth. What the angel had spoken to her was a physical impossibility. Surely, the Lord’s declaration seemed foolishness to this young woman who had never “known” a man. Naaman, simply dip seven times in the water. Woman, pour oil from that pot.
