God uses the weak

Isaiah 40:29  

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

1 Corinthians 1:19  

For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

1 Corinthians 1:25-28  

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,

Psalms 8:2  

From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Watch and Pray

 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”  Mark 14:38, NIV

“Watch.” . . .  Keep your eyes open. When you see sin coming, duck . . . When you sense temptation, go the other way . . .

“Pray.” . . .  What prayer does is invite God to walk the shadowy pathways of life with us . . . guarding our backside from the poison darts of the devil.

“Watch and pray.” Good advice. Let’s take it. - Max Lucado
