Powerless is Powerful in the Sight of God.
God has a way of teaching humans
about life eternal. God is omniscient and Omnipotent. Human beings share in the
knowledge and power of God. The bigger, stronger and more powerful are
considered in the world. The Lord does not need bigger and stronger and wiser
people. He needs simple people. The truth and reality are not in the strength
of people or those of the powerful. The truth and wisdom are in the most weak
and powerless people. God’s wisdom and holiness are manifested in the simple
and in those who are not considered by the world.
David was able to kill a big
person like Goliath. It was possible because the Lord was with David and
Goliath died with the hit of a small stone. David became king and he ruled
well. David sinned and the Lord brought him down and the humility of David
taught him many things in his life. David prayed and prayed, sang and sang the
praises of God. The Lord showed him mercy. God loved his tears and prayers so
much that he chose his family as the descendants of the Messiah.
What is useless is useful in the
sight of God?
