Why Does God Choose The Weakest Of The Weak?

There are several reasons why God chooses the weakest of the weak:

1) We are more ignorant of God's glory than we think we are. So in order for His glory to be known among all creation, He uses the weak. He delights in the weak because it is through them that His splendor is revered.

2) He uses the weak to shame and humble the wise. He does this so the wise of this world may look unto Him in awe and reverence.

3) He chooses the weak so that He can take the full credit of His work as it should be. If He uses the strong, in our foolishness and ignorance, we would give the credit to the "strong man" and not to God, who maketh the weak strong and maketh the strong weak.

4) He uses the weak to make us realize that He chooses men based on His own sovereign will and pleasure. He does not choose men out of an unforeseen merit or strength. Neither does He select men based on some special virtue that he has over the others. He simply chooses whom He pleases unconditionally and He makes such choice known by choosing the weak.
