...but God chose

Good Morning, Lord.  At 5:early I'm already behind before I even make my coffee.  Please show me what is important to you today.  I don't know what to ask for.  Could you please surprise me?

1 Cor 1: 25-31 ... For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

26Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”^d

... brother and sisters, think...........

Here's Paul in some ways sounding like to think is foolishness.  But he's obviously not saying to leave your brain at the door.

Think.

What was I when I was called.  Me personally?  I was a child.  I definitely fulfilled this verse. I was not wise by human standards; not influential; not of noble birth.  But God.......

I love those words, "but God"

I was one thing... and no matter what I fill in here, it was not enough.  BUT GOD.

Then I see it,

But God CHOSE.

It all hinges on His choices.  And He chose me.    Wow.

It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus
