Confound the Wise of this World!

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 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 despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which
are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should
glory in his presence.

If He was a man of the world, Yeshua would have chosen the elite of
His day to accomplish His mission â€" however He used simple fishermen.
These men were considered uneducated, lacking “social status”,
wealth or worldly distinction of any kind â€" yet these “simple”
men were the ones the Lord selected to build the Kingdom of God.

When the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt, God didn’t send an
army to deliver them, He sent a single man. But a single man of God
was shown to be greater than the most powerful kingdom on Earth.

Throughout the Bible, we read of the Lord choosing and using the weak
things of the world to confound and shame the wise and powerful. God
seems to love revealing His awesome power through humble vessels, so
that no flesh can glory in His presence.

Don’t allow the enemy to convince you that God cannot use you because
you are “flawed”, weak, or seemingly inconsequential. No, instead,
remember that He uses the base, despised, nonentities of this world,
ordinary, often broken, people…to do extraordinary things. Our God is
not looking at your wealth, your social status or your education â€"
He’s looking at your heart! If your heart is willing and your life is
available, then He is more than able to perform miraculous work
through you for His Kingdom’s sake. With so much work to be done,
don’t allow the enemy to stifle or steal the Lord’s vision for your
life â€"- He has a plan to use you to confound the wise of this world,
and to bring to naught the things that that are!

Peace
