Hey guys!
I went to church today, and we read a scripture that was very encouraging to me, so I thought I'd share it with y'all.
"For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
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 that 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,
that no flesh should glory in His presence"
1 Corinthians 1:26-29
My pastor basically explained it this way:
God chooses those whom the world expects to fail to fulfill dreams. Some may look at you and think "He/she is not fit to be a doctor" or "He/she will NEVER get into med school", but that is exactly why God chooses you to go to med school and to be a doctor. NOTHING is impossible for God, and when you finally make it into med school, against ALL the odds, people will will know that it was only by God's grace, and all the glory will be His. The genius guy or girl might say that is was by his or her own doing that they got a 38S on the MCAT, but when the person who got C's in physics and ochem gets a 38S on the MCAT, people will know that it was by God's doing, and all the glory will be His, and His alone.
I don't mean to offend any of you who are great A+ students. God def loves you too cause he blessed you with mucho brains
. This message is really for those (like myself) who are doubting themselves, and doubting their ability and their strength to make it through. Just know that God is with you in everything that you do. And even if you think you aren't strong enough to see this whole med school application process through to the end, just know that His strength is made perfect our weakness.
Ok that's it! Lemme get out of the pulpit now
