Consider your calling: Not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one can boast in His presence.

Ministry may be defined as "Jesus Christ in action." He ministers in and through us. God can do amazing things through those who will give themselves to His purposes. It has been said that the world has yet to see what God can do in and through the lives of those who are wholly yielded to Him.
