LORD, LET YOUR GLORY BE SEEN IN MY LIFE

Key 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)
REFLECTION
In today’s reading, Saint Paul reminds us that God does not judge people according to human standards. Many of the believers were not considered powerful, wise, or important by the world, yet God called and used them for His glory. This shows us that God specializes in using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Human beings often focus on appearance, status, wealth, education, or influence, but God looks at the heart. He can lift the humble, strengthen the weak, and honor those who trust completely in Him. Sometimes we may feel unqualified, rejected, or insignificant because of our background, limitations, or present condition. But this passage teaches us never to underestimate what God can do through a surrendered life. When God chooses a person, His grace becomes sufficient for that person. The glory must belong to God alone and not to human pride. Therefore, instead of depending solely on our strength or achievements, we must rely on God’s wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption through Christ Jesus. If we remain humble and faithful, God will use our lives as testimonies of His power and mercy.
