2	1 Cor 1:26-31	5/9	1 Corinthians 1:31 (ESV) — so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”	Paul is right when he discounts our past heritage. I was the son of a construction work, an alcoholic, and the oldest of seven. I struggled in school. I struggled with shyness. I was short with little strength. I went to college only because I did not know what else to do. And there, I met Jesus Christ. And that event, has more changed my life than any other event in my life. I really am not the person that I grew up to be. I bear no resemblance. I am the person God created. If I was truly honest, I have nothing to boast about.	Father, thank you for all that you have done for me in my life. Even my wisdom, it has all come from your word and your Spirit which has taught me and opened my eyes to truth. Thank you for taking nothing and making it into something that you can use for your glory.
