The Way of the Lord is not Our Way.

Meditation
The Way of the Lord is
not Our Way.
God calls those whom he
wants and qualifies them. God does not choose people of the royal family. God
loves us because we are his creation. He loves us for he created us in his
image and likeness. Our birth and background do not matter to him. What matters
to him is our love for him and our use of the freedom that he has given us. He loves the responsibility that we make use of it for our growth and the good of
others.
God surprise the proud by
choosing what is weak and foolish in the world to shame the wise. God can raise
a humble person to great status. It is not the worldly consideration that
matters to him. The thinking of the Lord is different from those of the worldly
people. It is through Jesus we are saved. We have salvation in Jesus who died
on the Cross. If at all one boast let him boast of the Jesus who died on the
Cross.
What do we boast about?
