"..God mocks man's power. He laughs at our egotistical efforts at being good. He never uses the high and mighty, instead He uses the weak things of this world to confound the wise.
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; And base things of the world, and things which are despises, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not. . . . That not flesh should glory in his presence. -I Corinthians 1:26-29
Wow! Does that ever describe me! Weak thing! Foolish thing! Despised thing! A base thing! A thing not very noble, not very smart, not very mighty! What insanity to think God could use such a creature! Yet that is His perfect plan and the greatest mystery on earth. God calls us in our weaknesses, even when He knows we'll do it wrong. He puts His priceless treasure in these earthen vessels of ours, because He delights in doing the impossible with nothing." -David Wilkerson. From his book, 'Have you felt like giving up lately.'
