What does the Bible say about God using human instruments?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God uses weak and foolish instruments to demonstrate His power and glory, as seen in 1 Corinthians 1:27-29.

The Scriptures affirm that God chooses to use human instruments as His witnesses and vessels for the gospel, which underscores His sovereign grace. In 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, Paul declares that God has chosen the foolish and weak things of the world to confound the wise and mighty. This choice illustrates that God's ways are beyond our understanding and that He can work through our weaknesses to accomplish His purposes. Instead of relying on human strength or wisdom, He uses unlikely instruments to ensure that no flesh may glory in His presence, emphasizing our total dependence on Him.
