But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, (1 Corinthians 1:27-28)
God intentionally uses weak things to accomplish His glorious purposes. The reason God does it this way is so that “no human being might boast in the presence of God” (1 Corinthians 1:29). God alone is to receive the glory.
Judas Iscariot was a man who was one of the twelve Apostles. He was an anointed man who could cast out demons and heal the sick. He, along with other apostles and disciples of the Lord, was used greatly on a mission trip. (Read Matthew 10)
However, Judas had a weakness that was not so apparent as he managed to disguise it well. In John 12:6, the Holy Spirit reveals his weakness. “…..he was a thief, and had the money box, and he used to take what was put in it.”
On many occasions, Judas had seen how the Lord would reveal the deepest secrets of men and women that came to Him. He had also seen how sinners were saved by His wonderful grace. But in spite of knowing all this, Judas never made an attempt to take his character flaw to Jesus privately. He could have if he wanted to, and I am sure Judas would have received grace to overcome his weakness.
The Lord, too, knew about it and wanted Judas to acknowledge it; He wanted Judas to change, but Judas did not, and in the end, this same character flaw caused Judas to sell His master for a mere 30 pieces of silver - the price of a slave. Real character is seen in how you handle resources and relationships.
It is only when we recognize that we are weak people we can stop trying to keep up a façade and instead look to the sufficiency and goodness of our God that brings redemption, healing, and comfort to our struggles.
No matter how weak or vulnerable we may be, I believe if we can confess and surrender our weaknesses to the Lord, we will receive sufficient grace to overcome. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
