God propers the poor and lifts the downtrodden.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:27 (MSG)
Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”?
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God prospers the unlikely to show who is really in charge.
DAILY FODDER
Are you a somebody or a nobody, according to Paul's illustration in 1 Corinthians 1?
PRAYER
God of grace and glory, sometimes I don't feel good enough. Thank you for reminding me that you do extraordinary things through ordinary people, You lift up those who mourn, strengthen the weak, and work through those with humble hearts. Fill me with your love and wisdom. Make me a channel of blessings in a hurting world. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)

with what is happening in heaven.
