1 Corinthians 1:27, God Has Chosen
The foolish, the weak has nothing inherently to boast because they are generally overlooked in a world where the wise and mighty rules the roost. It is interesting, the Apostle Paul observes, the vessels of God’s saving grace come upon the foolish and weak. Jesus gives us a clue in the Beatitudes how a man finds blessings with God when He teaches in Matthew 5:3-4 “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
The foolish and the weak realizes their inability and inadequacy. God is able to mold and reshape such to conform to His image. They are yielded to His molding hands. When God commands Joshua to enter the Promised Land, He instructs Israel to first conquer Jericho. And God’s strategy for tearing the fortress of Jericho is laughable to the army of Jericho. And the army of Israel is ill-equipped and hardly pose any threat to the great armour and strength of the army in Jericho.
