chose...

1 Corinthians 2:27-29

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.

God has not chosen the great to do His will, but the willing to do great.

More than that, He specifically chooses to use all those things in us we consider reasons for us not to be used.

Let’s be honest, we ask God “Why?!” on so many areas of our lives.

We think about ourselves and the things that we aren’t, and therefore all the things we can’t achieve. But I can testify to the fact that he took a stuttering young man with no confidence, to speak and tell people of the confidence that they can have in Christ.

If you could do things in your own strength, He wouldn’t choose you.

What’s that fear you have, the weakness you wish you didn’t have? I declare that God is ready to choose to use you!

Prayer for this week: Father, thank you for your love that sees everything I’m not and still qualifies me to do great things! Father, I can be confident in what you can do through me. I have not been called just to be saved but to something much greater. Speak to me and direct my steps.
