foolish things

"The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill."

- Ecclesiastes 9:11

This verse blessed me this morning. I am so grateful that God’s ways are above the ways of man. Psalm 25 says that God will teach the meek His ways; then Psalm 103 says that God made known His ways unto Moses, whom Numbers 12 tells us was “meek, above all men.” Man exalts the swift, the strong, the skillful, the wise... I don’t think I fit any of those categories. God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise; He has chosen the weak to confound the mighty... the base, the despised and those that are miles behind the rest.
