most of you know I had a pretty rough childhood..that said
we all 5 of us turned out great…so mom & Dad did something right…I shared a bed room with my sister and we use to whisper under the cover....about songs or TV shows ,we was banded from watching. I still want to be that little girl..with the rain on a tin roof..laughing with my sister but there was a lot of quite times we had to be reading mostly the Bible.....maybe I learned in those times to hear God …no not his voice but he speaks to us through nature ,through music ,through his word and through our pastors..This week I am figuring out 1 corinthians 1/27…if anyone has a comment on this verse
will you leave it in a comment ........thanks…

I don't think it is a standalone verse. It blends with what Paul is saying in the whole paragraph.
Jesus often talks in parables the first shall be least. If you want to be great in Gods kingdom learn to be the servant of all. The foolishness of the gospel that confounds the wise is the Son of God came humbling himself as a helpless baby born in a stable the son of a carpenter.
Had man planned it it would have been pomp and circumstance and a mighty display.
Salvation is a gift. Freely given. And the only thing God wants from us is everything we have.

I did a search with commentary. What I found basically said that God does not need the worldly wise, the politicians, those in power to do his will. But that what He wants done is for His message to be spread and that it can and is being spread by the ordinary person. He uses the lesser to spread His greater word.
This commentary says it pretty good: To bring to shame; or that he might make them ashamed; that is, humble them by showing them how little he regarded their wisdom; and how little their wisdom contributed to the success of his cause. By thus overlooking them, and bestowing his favors on the humble and the poor; by choosing his people from the ranks which they despised, and bestowing on them the exalted privilege of being called the sons of God, he had poured dishonor on the rich and the great, and overwhelmed them, and their schemes of wisdom, with shame. It is also true, that those who are regarded as fools by the wise men of the world are able often to confound those who boast of their wisdom; and that the arguments of plain people, though unlearned except in the school of Christ; of people of sound common sense under the influence of Christian principles, have a force which the learning and talent of the people of this world cannot gainsay or resist. They have truth on their side; and truth, though dressed in a humble garb, is more mighty than error, though clothed with the brilliancy of imagination, the pomp of declamation, and the cunning of sophistry.
