26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 26-31
In all things, give glory to God. Too often we get caught up in our own selves and we begin to think we are accomplishing things on our own and we forget to acknowledge the One who gave us life. We must never boast in our own achievements as if we did it in our own strength. All perfect gifts and blessings are from God above and we must never be arrogant. We must be humble and remember that we were wretches before the Lord called us. We were nothing special then nor are we now. We are victors because of Christ. We live in hope because of Christ. We are alive because of Christ. Therefore we must boast about the Lord and give the glory to Him because we are who we are because of Him.
