"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." - Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV I was sitting in church one Wednesday night, overwhelmed with anger. Someone had hurt me, and I felt they weren't acting the way they should. I thought my sins weren't as bad as theirs, so I felt justified. But then, the Lord gently reminded me that I was wrong. I realized I was judging this person, and that was a sin in itself. God is holy, and my behavior was no better than theirs. I felt convicted and was moved to tears. The Holy Spirit whispered to me, "If you really love them, you would pray for their best, regardless of their behavior." That realization hit me hard. I admitted to myself that I didn’t truly love them as I claimed. My actions showed that I wanted them to act a certain way for my benefit.

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."
— 1 Corinthians 1:27 (NIV)
God loves to choose and use people that the world often ignores or thinks are unimportant. He does this so that no one can take credit for what He does. People who believe they are smart and strong often get surprised when they see God working through someone they thought couldn’t do anything special.
If you feel like the world has overlooked you, don’t think that God will do the same. God’s strength shows up best in our weaknesses!
Trusting in God's Plan
God doesn’t look at us the way the world does. He sees our true value and potential. Even if others think we’re not worth much, God can use us to do great things. It’s in our weakest areas that His power is the most visible.
Think about David and Goliath. David was just a young shepherd, but God used him to defeat a giant. This shows that no matter how small or unimportant we might feel, God can use us in amazing ways.
Prayer of the Day:
Father, help me trust that You can work through me, even when I feel weak or insignificant. Thank You for seeing value in me. Help me to do great things for Your glory, knowing that Your strength is perfect in my weakness. Amen.
