Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:[27] 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. <\/p>\n
Observation: I sure qualify to be chosen by God. What a fool I\u2019ve been before and after receiving Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I remember even when I was a kid and they would pick teams to play baseball I was the last chosen because my athletic abilities were not very good. Now God has chosen me, a fool, to be used for a His glory. Finally I\u2019m on a winning team. He has used me a few times already to touch the lives of others and I\u2019m anxious to see how He plans to use me next.<\/p>\n
Application: I\u2019m still very lazy and avoid doing things and make excuses when things might come up. It\u2019s time to make the best effort I can and avoid my laziness and to step out at any chance I can to glorify God. God is using me in the depression class He has given me and an opportunity to serve feeding the homeless at the beach and I need to put forth the best I can in anything my Lord puts before me.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord use your servant, this fool, to fulfill the purpose you have created me for. May I bring a smile to your face and be pleasing in your sight as I set out to serve others in your name. Strengthen me for I am weak and give this fool the wisdom I\u2019ll need to make a difference in your name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
