But God has chosen the foolish things of the
world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things, which are mighty. 1 Corinthians
1:27
Life is competitive with plenty of contenders racing to accomplish
great thing and be first to the top. Many arrive at what they
believe to be their goal only to find that it lacks the
gratification they thought they would find. God does not seek the
criteria that man seeks. He has the ability to take the nobody,
lacking education, wealth, and social status, and make them a
somebody. Throughout the Bible we read how He used a Shepherd, a
Prostitute, a Pharisee, Tax Collector, and a Fisherman, just to
name a few. God's criteria is much different than the world's. He
does not ask for a perfect resume but a willing heart that will
trust in Him. There is no flesh that will glory, it is completely
evident that the work accomplished could only be accredited to
God. Regardless of our past God has a future and if we are willing
to say "Here I am, use me, I make my life available to
you", He will accomplish great things and fulfill His great
purpose in our lives.
Prayer
Lord send us, our hearts are willing to follow
wherever you desire to take us. We thank you for the grace and
mercy you have extended to us. In the eyes of this world we may be
nobody but in you Jesus we are somebody. Accomplish your will and
purpose for our lives. We give you alone all the praise and the
glory. Amen.
