Ep. 166: Ordinary People — Devotion

Devotion on Attitude, Christian Life, 1 Corinthians 1:26–29. 1 page.

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God (1 Corinthians 1:26–29).

"I have been guilty of comparing myself to others’ goals, accomplishments, and so much more. I feel as though I need to be a certain someone, to reach a certain goal, before I can be proud of who I am."
