God Is Wiser And Stronger

For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.  Brothers, think of what you were when you were called.  Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were 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.  He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things - and the things that are not - to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him.  It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.  Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

1 Corinthians 1:25-31

A princess was once heard to have said that she was so thankful that the bible says "not many were of noble birth" rather than nonewere of noble birth.  She claims to be a devout follower of Jesus Christ.

In the same way, I recognize that I fall into the catagory of the weak, lowly and the things that are not.  The only thing that I can boast about is in my Lord.
