How do we know that God chooses the weak and foolish?

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 emphasizes this truth by stating that not many wise or mighty are called, indicating that God's ways are not aligned with human expectations. He purposely chooses the foolish and weak to demonstrate His power and to prevent any boasting of human strength in His presence. This pattern of divine selection is evident throughout biblical history, from David, a shepherd boy, to the disciples, who were largely uneducated and humble. God's choice to select the despised and the base reflects His sovereign grace and intention to glorify Himself through the unlikely and the overlooked.
