Actually all through scripture, God never chose the
highest, rather He chose the lowly and made them
high. The lesson is that if we have pride, there is
no room for submission to the Lord. Pride leads to
boasting rather than to acceptance of His Word.
To learn to follow before we lead. To live His life
from His examples daily. We need to be able to
accept His will in place of our own. In the letter of
James, it shows that we need to use our faith to be
able promote faith to the world. Works is never the
road to salvation, instead faith is the fruit of salvation.
Scripture says unequivocally that if we light a lamp
and then cover it, it is of no use to anyone. So must
our heart be, that we can show the world, the love
of God.
