1 Corinthians 1  The same God who by His will called Paul to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, called us to be saints - set apart ones, sanctified in Christ Jesus - made holy. ( v1-2)

He called us into "fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord". ( v9)

He called us to "Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" ( v24)

He called "... 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, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man should boast before God." ( v26-29)

"But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.." v30.

It is our Creator, the Lord God, who reigns over all, Who holds all things in His Hand, who has taken the initiative here;  He called, He chose, He did it all - He makes the wisdom of the world foolishness;  He makes what the world considers foolishness -wisdom:

Christ crucified on a cross - this is the most powerful Word for it has the power to save. 
Jesus is wisdom.  Jesus is righteousness.  Jesus is sanctification.  Jesus is redemption.  This is to be our only message - our only boast- for it is our only hope.

Jesus, we call upon Your Name,  that we might not lack wisdom or understanding, that we might not lack the gifts of the Spirit, that we might stand "blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ".  Thank You for the Word of Truth.  Thank You for being all - all we need, all we want,  all in all.
Father, we bow before You and honor You for You are God and there is no other.  Help us to remember that it is You Who does all things. You, who have called us to Jesus and to be set apart for Yourself.  You have chosen us, the foolish and weak, to be the ones to shame the wise and strong.  Do all You desire in Your people today.  Let Your Name be honored and Your kingdom come and Your will be done. Through Jesus our Lord. amen.
