Why does God use frail humans

[sbvd]

Even the young and children who may fail him?

so that we may be saved.

 

[Lion King]

• Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 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. God 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. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:26-30

• And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

He uses the weak to humble the strong....

 

[PETE_]

God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; oGod chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even pthings that are not, to qbring to nothing things that are, 29 so rthat no human being2 might boast in the presence of God. 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our swisdom and our trighteousness and usanctification and vredemption.http://www.christianforums.com/#_ftn11 ESV 1 Co 1:27-30

We fail Him when we are trying to accomplish things as humans, only when we follow His plan can we achieve anything worthwhile. He gets all the credit

 

[Lion King]

The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:14-16

now where is my prize?

We will always have places where we fail. But Praise God He does not fail. He is faithful.

 

[Ih8s8n]

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." (II Corinthians 4:7)

 

[MrPolo]

So that we will believe God has to be behind the act because the person in question is frail!

 

[chris4243]

If God routinely acted directly, it would negate the concept of faith -- we'd all know objectively of His existence. As for specifically the humans who are most frail, God has on multiple occasions said that it is so people cannot boast. (This even in the Old Testament, eg when God commanded the army be whittled down to 300 before defeating the enemy against enormous odds).

 

[Matariki]

Even the young and children who may fail him?

Why does God use them? To glorify him. The weak rely and look up to God more than the strong do. Their securities are with him. With trust and submission, God can use them. In my eyes, that makes them the strongest.

 

[MamaZ]

To show His faithfulness and His sovereignty

 

[Yab Yum]

Plus another answer is - He doesn't always. See, road to Damascus, etc.

 

[HolyGuardianAngels]

Even the young and children who may fail him?

He, speaking of the Great I AM, doesn't use frail humans as much as He uses His mighty Angels. He uses those who WANT and DESIRE to serve Him.

Thank you for your answers, I'm writing a YA novel and I needed to brainstorm
