I Corinthians 1:27 (ASV)
but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise;
and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

God the Father, through Yeshua His Son, and by the power of His Holy Spirit,
has chosen you to receive His favors and continually partake of His gracious oversight.
You are peculiarly His own.

To the world you may appear foolish, but you are God's secret treasure, a mystery of His Kingdom. He uses you to bring shame, disgrace, and dishonor to those who consider themselves wise, skilled, expert, cultivated and learned. Do not worry if they think you are weak, feeble, or infirm--their thinking is distorted by sin!

God has made you strong and mighty. He has given you the strength of soul to withstand Satan's attacks. He has made you strong, firm and sure. In His sight you are an excellent man, endowed with His abilities and His authority!
