God Chooses the Weak

God Chooses the Weak

[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.
—1 Corinthians 1:27
God gives us His power (grace) so we can do what is needed in spite of our weaknesses. In fact, God purposely chooses the weak and foolish things of the world to work through so we will give Him the glory for what is being done. God wants to amaze the world, and one of the ways He does so is by accomplishing great things through people who are weak and don't have the natural ability to complete the task at hand (see 1 Corinthians 1:25–29).
Relax; don't be afraid you won't be able to do what God has given you to do. Step out in faith, and God will meet you where you are and give you His grace (undeserved favor and power) to complete the task. Through Christ you can do all things!
Power Thought: God uses my weaknesses to show His strength.
