GLORIOUS GRACE! - 21

1 Corinthians 1:27 -  But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong

You may think that you are a “Mr. nobody”, maybe even a “Mr. was” or a loser in the eyes of the world. Take heart because God’s Word says that if you are not wise, not mighty or not noble according to the flesh, then you are a prime candidate for Him to call on! And when He begins to use you, you will see His favour, power and grace change your life.

In the eyes of the ancient world, Moses was the rising star of Egypt. The Bible tells us that in the first 40 years of his life, “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds”. (Acts 7:22) But God could not use him then because he was too smart, strong and full of himself.

It was only 40 years later, after having been in the unglamorous desert of Midian, emptied of himself and thinking that he was a “has-been”, that God sent him to confound the might of Pharaoh.

Thought for the day!
God chooses the weak, the small, the forgotten and the losers to confound those mighty in the world. That's grace!
