1 Corinthians 1:27 - Weak and foolish

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.

God wants us to rely on him. Good uses the weak and the foolish because the glory belongs to him, it is his power and wisdom. Our righteousness, holiness and redemption is not to our credit, We have nothing to boast about except the Lord.

Lord, thank you for choosing us. Please help us to remember all the glory is due to you for our salvation. Amen.

Romans 6:22 - Leads to holiness

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

I don't have to sin. I have been set free from sin. This doesn't mean I am perfect, but I am on the path to holiness and righteousness. This verse doesn't say it leads to perfection, Yea grace!!

Lord, thank you for leading us to holiness, Please help us to stay on your path. Amen.
