Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1: 27
Instead God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful.
Observation: God’s way of measuring things is not the same as the worlds. And he will use those we may not expect to prove that to us.
Application: This verse brings to mind a book I just finished reading called Same Kind of Different as Me. God used a man who had been cast away by most society standards to teach many others a lesson of love and help so many others.
Prayer: Lord, forgive me when I so often make judgments of others. You alone know everyone’s heart, and you live in more hearts than I know. And even taking that into account, it is not up to me to judge anyone at all, lest I be shamed.
Thank you for humbling me in so many different ways and for bringing me to read Same Kind of Different as Me. Please show me, Lord, what direction you want me to take after that reading. What is it you have in store for me? Please prepare me and my husband, and send me on the path you have selected so that I may live my life for you.
