Scripture: “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.” – 1 Corinthians 1:27 (NIV)

Devotional:

God’s ways are often opposite to ours. He chooses the humble and the weak to accomplish His purposes, rather than the proud and the powerful. This upside-down approach is a reminder that our strength comes from Him, not from our own abilities or accomplishments.

Reflection:

– Where in your life are you trying to rely on your own strength rather than God’s?
– How can you surrender your pride and trust in God’s power instead?
– Take a moment to pray and ask God to use you in ways that bring Him glory.

Prayer:

Dear God, help me to embrace my weaknesses and trust in Your strength. Use me for Your purposes, and may Your glory shine through my life. Amen.
Action Step:

– Write down one area where you need to surrender control to God.
– Share your struggles with a friend or mentor and ask for their support.
– Take a step of faith and trust God to work in ways beyond your understanding.
