because he wants to prove his strength is made perfect in weakness and the more of him I have in me the more equipped i will be to speak his word boldly and be a leader that was taught by the wise teacher that knew if i wasn't lacking in that and most all areas of myself his strength could be made perfect in weakness and .. i digress

Well 1 Cor. 1:27 says "...God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty". Other than that, I can say from personal experience, that its our fears that drive us to our knees and pray, where we are our strongest.

That way it is not that persons words But Spirit lead words of wisdom.
Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.
But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.
If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.
The Good Person Test.
How will you do? Pass or fail?
Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?
Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?
Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?
Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?
See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?
If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.
Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.
The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

"God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise." Besides, someone who was an accomplished speaker with an agenda of their own might be tempted to distort His message for their own glory.

He uses the foolish and the weak so it is Him and not us.

no matter whom He chooses will have this fear because everyone does. Some of us have it a lot worse.
