God Uses the Foolish Things of the World

Amos | Chapter 7:10-17 Pt. V ~ Episode 1079:

Amos is very, very smart, very intelligent, and very capable. However, it doesn't come from himself; everything Amos is and has comes from the Lord. He [Amos] understood, and we see demonstrated here in the confrontation by Amaziah. Just as Scripture tells is in 1st Corithians chapter 1; God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, “Let Him who boast, boast in the Lord.”
