Why does God choose weak and foolish things to accomplish His purposes?
Answered in 1 source
God uses weak and foolish things to demonstrate His power and ensure that no flesh glories in His presence (1 Corinthians 1:27-29).
The choice of weak and foolish vessels in God’s plan serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it highlights God's sovereignty and power, showing that His strength is made perfect in weakness. By using those whom the world deems insignificant, such as ordinary preachers and humble believers, He creates a context where the glory of salvation is unmistakably attributed to Him. The profound wisdom of this strategy is that it prevents any boasting from human agents, as they realize that they are instruments of God’s grace rather than sources of merit. This is reiterated in 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, indicating that those who are most powerless demonstrate the greatest testament to God’s glory.
