calling all the "nobodies"

Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. 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 "somebodies"? 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 Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God." 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (The Message Bible)

I love this translation...this is probably how it sounded when King James read it way back in 1611...

so...if you have been burdened to do something or go somewhere, don't hesitate and think about your qualification...because if God called the "nobodies" then i'm sure we fit the requirement. All we have to do is pray hard and make sure within ourselves the plan of God.
