Do you think everyone has gifts and talents? Is everyone a genius? No. Some enter life saddled with heavy burdens and no strength to lift them. Life is not fair. And yet, God often touches the “least of these” in ways the rest of us can only admire.
In God’s Kingdom, you will hear the foolish say something wise. You will see weak people begin to be strong. As the broken grow in Christ, you may see the least admired elevated above all others. Sometimes God gives the poorest student the richest insight. Sometimes He elevates the least attractive beyond all the beautiful people. Sometimes the scorned become the admired.
“God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that NO ONE CAN BOAST IN HIS PRESENCE…. LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD” 1 Corinthians 1:27-31.
God is the Great Equalizer. You are not better than anyone. You are not less than anyone:
“For what makes you superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if, in fact, you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not receive it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7.
God, keep us humble. Bless the hurting and broken who have never enjoyed the spotlight, the trophy, the victories, and admiration. Bless those who have been on top with the humility to share those moments with those who have always been on the bottom. Thank you that in Christ, we are all humble—but we can boast in You. Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord!
