1 Corinthians 1:28
1 Corinthians 1:28
God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are.
God’s power is displayed through the humility of those whom the world deems lowly or insignificant. This verse reminds us that God often chooses those who are despised and weak in the world’s eyes to accomplish His great purposes. Humility makes room for God’s strength to be revealed. The proud and powerful often rely on their own abilities, but the humble recognize their need for God’s power to carry out His will. Through humility, God brings to nothing the arrogance, prideful accomplishments of the world, showing that true strength comes from Him alone. This passage calls us to embrace God’s way of working through weakness, for in our humility, His power shines brightest. When we humble ourselves, we create space for God to move in ways that confound the wisdom of the world, making His glory known in unexpected ways.
Mark 10:44
Whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Psalms 149:4
For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Zephaniah 2:3
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility.
