The foolishness of God

1 Corinthians 1:25-27 kjv. "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 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;"  God is in control of everything, other than man's own will. He will bring the wisest of men to awe when they get a taste of His knowledge. Even the weakness of God is stronger then the strongest man. God looks for the weak things of the world, man, to demonstrate His power and love through, and to bring forth His wisdom and strength. It doesn't matter how poor or weak men are; if they are humble they can be a vessel for God. When there is humility, pride is no longer present. All who have been rejected by the world, even by family, do not need to worry; God still loves them and can move through them. He wants us at the place in our walk where we boast only in Him and Him through us. He wants us where we totally trust and depend on His Word and the Holy Spirit. It takes a humble person to receive such a life, a person who is in love with the Lord and obedient to His will. Let us boast, rejoice, and glory in the Lord our sweet Savior. When I am weak, He is strong. Praise Him in your weakness.
