I'm still a contender.

Scripture: 
"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.” 1 Corinthians 1:27 (NIV) 

Application: 
I've racked up more failures in life than successes, if you look at me as the world does. There are goals I pretty much should keep quietly on the shelf, dusty and unattainable, if you look at the odds of my achieving them before I die. Some would say that. 
But God doesn't say that. 
All through the Bible, God used the inadequate and unsuccessful underdog to bring Him the victory. All through life, including mine, God made good things happen when it seemed improbable. There's air in my lungs and a sun about to rise. 
Look out world, I'm still a contender. 

Prayer: 
Dear God, please keep me motivated to keep trying my best to do my best. Use me. Send me. All to Your glory. Amen.
