I am weak but He is strong.....

Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."I Corinthians 1:26-27

When read this verse tagged at the end of another blog this morning all I could say was "WOW!" I can't tell you how many times I've read through and studied Corinthians and I can't tell you why this scripture has never jumped out on me. That's something I just love about God's Word. Each time you read it, you receive something new. It's not just another book like many would like for you to believe. It contains power and guidance and encouragement.

Encouragement is something I always need. I'm an emotionally needy person.

There.

I said it.

I have a WHOLE lot of issues emotionally. Yet, despite my downfalls and shortcomings, God is still able to use me as long as I allow Him to.

Just like these verses say, I am definitely not of noble birth, nor am I influential. I am weak and foolish and this scripture tells me that God still chooses the weak to shame the strong. I am still useful to Him.

You are too!

Be willing to be used by Him.
