FAQ ID # 4587 - I would like to know if you can point me in the direction of the story in the Bible of God using the most unqulaified for a mighty job so that His power would be the focus? I would like to use it as reference with my co-worker who descriminates against the nicest people because they don't have a degree. I know that on paper some people look unqualified but those are usually the people more open to God's power than their own abilites. I told him that I would find it and show him as he asked me to do but I am having trouble...so can you please help me.

Question / Issue

I would like to know if you can point me in the direction of the story in the Bible of God using the most unqulaified for a mighty job so that His power would be the focus? I would like to use it as reference with my co-worker who descriminates against the nicest people because they don't have a degree. I know that on paper some people look unqualified but those are usually the people more open to God's power than their own abilites. I told him that I would find it and show him as he asked me to do but I am having trouble...so can you please help me.

Answer / Solution

You are probably thinking of

1 Cor 1:26-29
For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 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.

The story of David killing the giant includes this passage:

1 Sam 17:33
Then Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."
