Scripture of The Day
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; (I Corinthians 1:27)
What do you do when you are faced with big challenges? Do you automatically look for the most powerful means to solve the problem? That is not exactly the way God thinks. The Bible tells us that it pleases God to use what the world considers weak, foolish, base, and despised to bring to nothing things which are mighty.
“What is in your hand?” God asked. “A rod,” Moses said. And with that rod, he performed miracles and confounded the might of Pharaoh.
“Five loaves and two fish,” a little boy said. And with that little boy’s lunch, Jesus fed 5000 men and his disciples gathered 12 baskets full of leftovers.
“Five stones and a sling,” said David the shepherd boy. And with one of those stones and the sling, he brought down Goliath, the mighty Philistine champion.
My friend, don’t despise what seems weak and insignificant to the world. God can use them to bring down the giants in your life!
