God chose the weak things of the world

I put 2 and 2 together about something.Sometimes when you're younger,out of inexperience and lack of foresight, you make "life mistakes" that don't just affect you in that time frame, because they're at a "pivital" time in your life{teenage years}{the bridge between childhood and adulthood, the years where decisions you make will set you up for life.I can think of 2 main ones ,2 catergories, but both caused by the same mindset, an immature mindset that I didn't take one thing seriously, and the other , some misjudgements,which, by the time I realized it, it was too late to change it. BUT, in line with what I'm saying,let's look at it spiritually. "God chose the weak things."Whereas others made the "right moves",and are now "successes" according to most peoples view of success, the executive with the beautiful wife, making $200,000 a year, is in so many cases in spiritual trouble__marital problems, maybe an alchoholic ,sooo..it makes me think, maybe my "dumb decisions" in my younger years was part of the pattern, that being a "loser" by the worlds standards,was actually part of the pattern for God to lead me to him.{Although it could work the other way, a "sucessful" person, the $200,000 a year executive, I've read in Gospel tracts, peoples testimonies that they had all the "success" in the world, but they had unhappiness, a drug habit, marital problems, etc., but then, God touched them and they got saved.}But in my specific case, it was more of a "weak things of the world" situation.
 
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
They believe salvation through their deeds.

Amen, Muani, thanks for scriptures!

"God chose the weak things of the world, that He might put the strong to shame." Well, I have to look no further than my own life to see that. Some by my own bad choices, and some by just a life of bad "luck", but looking at myself, I can see I'm not what "the world" would call a "success". When...

1 Corinthians 26. Christian friends, remember the time when God called you to come to him. Think about what you were like. Not many of you were clever or powerful in the way that people think is good. Not many of you belonged to important families. 27 Instead, God chose to use things that...
