Every Weakness is an Opportunity for God to Show His Strength in Your Life


"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence.  

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." - 1 Corinthians 1:26-31  

There are few that are wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy that are called. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. He chose things that are weak to shame those who are powerful. He chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever glory in His presence! 

We have put on Christ. (Galatians 3:27) We have repented of our sins, have been baptized in Jesus name for the remission of our sins, and Jesus has filled us with His Spirit (Acts 2:38). We can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us. (Philippians 4:13)  

We are His representative to the world. (2Corinthians 5:19-21) He has made us right with Him, made us pure and holy, and has freed us from sin. All glory belongs to Jesus!
