But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

I've seen this misused a bunch of times. People like to hang their hat on it claiming the little guy will always beat the big guy. This is mainly to point out that God doesn't need our help with anything.

And pride doesn't just exist with the strong and wealthy. If you've heard of prosperity gospel, you need to know aobut poverty gospel. People who feel that the only way you can get close to God is to wallow in misery and poverty. This is equally wrong.
