1 Corinthians 1:27-29  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.

Psalm 131:1  A Song of Ascents, of David. O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me.
