"Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."
Totally reminds me of the verse that goes the first will be last and the last first. the proud will be humbled and the humbled exalted. We really see things the wrong way in our lives.
"Brothers, 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."
The interesting thing that I just noticed typing this part out is that he says NOT MANY. In other words, there are people called that are wise, influential and of noble birth. Really makes me see that God is not discriminatory in any way. But getting to the point, he is stressing that we're not special in the world's eyes but we are in God's eyes. Not only that, but God equips the called not calls the equipped. If we rely on God, life will be the way he planned for us, with joy and peace. He has the keys to my car and is sitting in the driving seat!
