1 Corinthians 1:26 (NKJV) 26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

As Paul was addressing the Corinthians, he drew attention to the fact that when God calls a man or a woman, He does so, not based on their earthly wisdom, their physical strength or their nobility, but for reasons He chooses.

God operates in ways that confound the minds of man. His ways of doing things will, many times, make no sense to human logic. His ways fly in the face of conventional wisdom, making fools of so-called wise people.

God sometimes chooses to use people who lack formal education in areas where He chooses to use them mightily. God doesn’t require degrees from fancy universities. He doesn’t need man’s stamp of approval upon His laborers.

And He doesn’t need to ask for man’s permission to accomplish things in the way He chooses to accomplish them.

As He moves in His own unique ways, He may choose you or me to do something that we have no clue how to do. The cool part about God, though, is that He will not only give us the understanding that we need, but He will also provide us with the tools that we need in order to complete the job.

And what’s more than that? He will often lead us into these things without us even knowing that He’s doing it, until we begin to look back and see where He has brought us!

This is the God we serve. He is more than sufficient for us in every possible way, for every step we take in this walk called life.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
