Reflection on Today's Verse
This verse is God’s gentle reminder that your value isn’t measured by how impressive you look to people. The world claps for the “strong,” the “smart,” the “polished”… but God often moves through the ones who feel overlooked, underestimated, or even embarrassed by their own weakness.
Why? So nobody can say, “Look what I did.” The outcome points back to Him.
If you’ve been feeling small lately—like you don’t have the right skills, the right confidence, or the right “something”—this verse flips the script: God can use what you think disqualifies you. Your weakness can become the very space where His strength shows up loudest.
Personal Prayer
Father God, thank You that You choose the weak things and the foolish things—people like me—so Your power and wisdom can be seen clearly. Forgive me for believing I have to be strong, perfect, or impressive before You can use me.
Help me to trust You in my limitations, and to obey You even when I feel unqualified. Let my life point to Your strength, not mine. Use me today for Your purpose, and give me a humble heart that depends on You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
