1 Corinthians 1:26-29New King James Version (NKJV)
Glory Only in the Lord
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
ITS important to always give God all the glory that He is due. The bible says its not by power or might, but by my Spirit says the Lord. Zechariar 4:6
Today humans want glory for everything, that is why they toil and struggle in life to do it themselves instead of trusting GOD. Many today are working in possitions where they are over qualified or just struggle with life and never breakthrough because they they are proud and resist the power of God. ITS important to know that God hates human pride, just like the opening bible verse says and so God resists the proud , but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6 . A humble man is wise and knows that his wisdom and strenght comes from GOD. For example David knew that it was not by His power that he defeated Goliath, but God through Him, thats why He was the greatest warrior and king isreal ever had. The same with Joshua , he relied on the power of God just like moses, and God parted the waters of the RIVER JORDAN for them and brought down the walls of Jericho. EVEN JESUS when he was on earth relied completely and totally on the power of GOD THATS WHY HE WAS ABLE TO SUCCED IN HIS MINISTRY TO WIPE AWAY ALL OUR SINS. In our weakness, the power of Christ is made more strong in us so that we do not boast or glory in ourselves, but instead give all the glory to God.
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
