God’s hiring principle - Part 1

Do you think that you are the lowest of all?

Do you think that you are the one who is not respected by anyone?

Do you think that you are not fit for any bigger job?

Do  you think that you are not eligible to work with bigger people?

Well, if your answer is “YES” for the above questions, then God has chosen you for the greater works of His.

“26.Brothers and sisters, 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.God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the things that are not- to nullify the things that are.

29 so that no one may boast before him.
