This Week's Daily Bible Verses

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things -- and the things that are not -- to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
