But God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise. 1 Corinthians 1.27.
Oh how men look for wisdom and power, but God seeks out the foolish and the weak. 1 Corinthians speaks of the wisdom and power of Christ; it also declares that God chooses the foolish and the weak. The Greeks look for wisdom and the Jews seek for miracles which demonstrate power. But God sets aside man’s wisdom and power. For where there is human wisdom, there is also fleshly power. Human wisdom and power can only be effective in human affairs. If they are used in God’s work they will destroy it.

God will only use the might and power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish His work. And this might and power are manifested through the foolish and the weak.
