"God Chooses What The World Thinks Is Foolish..."

November 10,2021 Daily Devotion: "God Chooses What The World Thinks Is Foolish..." John 15:16 The Passion Translation 16 You didn’t choose me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of my Father, for my sake, he will give it to you! When God chooses us for His divine plans and purposes, He uses different criteria than what the world uses. The world chooses people based upon their looks, their talent, education, or their accomplishments, but God doesn’t do that. In fact, 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 tells us that God chooses what the world thinks is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. God didn’t look for the most qualified. He chose someone who loved Him, someone who would work hard, and someone who was determined. People may look at the exterior, but God looks at the heart. There may be others more qualified or talented, but His choice is not based on appearance, education, possessions, or even talents. It is based on your heart attitude. If you have a good heart toward God and an available attitude, God can do more through your life than you ever thought possible. If we continue being faithful to God, we will eventually get where God wants us to be.
