1 Corinthians 1:26-29

During my devotional this morning I read the first chapter of 1 Corinthians, today I wanted to talk about verses 26-29. I am not going to write them here so now is a good time to read them. This set of verses talks about how God rarely chooses the ones who boast in their abilities and accomplishments; but rather the weak, the foolish, the undesirables. It says he does this to shame the boasters, and humble them. Later it explains a little bit in this passage and in many other places why he does this, this text says it is so that no flesh shall glory before God. Honestly I think that in and of itself speaks pages about why he chooses the lowly to be with him. If you brag in yourself and the things you have accomplished, then are you really giving glory to God? Since this ultimately is his goal for us to praise, love, and glorify him! Why would he choose those who are confident in themselves to do it? Those who are already praising themselves, loving themselves, and glorifying themselves. Food for thought... Who do you boast in God or yourself?
