"Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these 'nobodies' to expose the hollow pretensions of the 'sombodies'? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have--right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start--comes from God by way of Jesus Chrust. That's why we have the saying, 'If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God.'"
I love this passage. Simply because it says that God chose us so that we could point to Him. It's not about us. It's not about who we've been, where we've gone, or what will happen in the future. Everything we do, everything we say, everything we're about should make much of our great and glorious God. He deserves all the praise because He alone is worthy.
