A Startling Statistic

"God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God." - 1 CORINTHIANS 1:27-29
Frank Sinatra’s, “My Way,” is one of the most recorded songs in the history of pop music. It’s no surprise. When things seem to be going on “our way” we can continue walking in deception. Only when our foolishness fails do we see what our hearts are really like. Blindness opened Samson’s eyes. He saw that he was not a strong man after all, but only a weak man in whom God had demonstrated his mighty power. Weak Samson could see more and do more than strong Samson. Our weakness brings us to the highest level of usability in God’s Kingdom.
