MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Tuesday March 3, 2020
Topic: Those God Chooses
Text: 1 Corinthians
1:17 – 31
God’s wisdom in dealing with Man is
unfathomable and beyond human understanding. How can he choose fishermen to
become bearers of His gospel? Why did He wait for Sarah to reach 90 years
before blessing her with a child when her mates were already great
grandmothers? Indeed God chooses the foolish things to shame our assumed wisdom
because of what is stated in verses 19 and 29. See Job 5:12-13; Isaiah 29:14;
55:8 & 9.
Paul declared that no amount of human
knowledge can replace or bypass Christ’s work on the cross. If it could, Christ
would be accessible to the intellectually gifted and well educated only and not
to ordinary people or to children. Hence God’s wisdom of salvation far surpasses
all other wisdom.
Brethren, it is for this reason He chose
you as a Christian. Come to think of it; it was not your knowledge, family
background, wisdom, beauty, intellect, ability, etc., that made God chose you.
Some of us have no educational qualification to interpret the bible but God
uses our mouth effectively to communicate the gospel and turn hearts unto
repentance.
Therefore, we should glory in what God made
us and not what we think we have achieved by human wisdom. Let all glory be
ascribed unto God alone (verses 30 & 31).
Food for Thought: James 2:5
Memory verse: 1 Corinthians 1:27
Prayer: Lord,
thank you for choosing me as your own by your wisdom. Help me to live my life
in gratitude and praise unto you and you alone.
