This theme underscores the idea that God's ways are higher than human ways, and His plans often defy human expectations.<br><br><b>Old Testament Examples</b><br><br>1. <b>Moses and the Burning Bush</b>: In <a href="/bsb/exodus/3.htm">Exodus 3</a>, God calls Moses, a fugitive shepherd, through a burning bush to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses, who had fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian, is an unlikely candidate for such a monumental task. Yet, God chooses him to confront Pharaoh and deliver His people. "So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt" (<a href="/exodus/3-10.htm">Exodus 3:10</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Gideon and the 300 Men</b>: In <a href="/bsb/judges/7.htm">Judges 7</a>, God reduces Gideon's army from 32,000 to 300 men to defeat the Midianites. This unexpected strategy highlights that victory comes from the Lord, not from human strength or numbers. "The LORD said to Gideon, 'With the three hundred men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand'" (<a href="/judges/7-7.htm">Judges 7:7</a>).<br><br>3. <b>David and Goliath</b>: In <a href="/bsb/1_samuel/17.htm">1 Samuel 17</a>, David, a young shepherd boy, defeats the giant Goliath with a sling and a stone. This unexpected victory demonstrates that God empowers the humble and the faithful to accomplish great feats. "David said to the Philistine, 'You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts'" (<a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament Examples</b><br><br>1. <b>The Birth of Jesus</b>: The Messiah's birth in a humble manger in Bethlehem, as described in <a href="/bsb/luke/2.htm">Luke 2</a>, defies expectations of a royal arrival. Jesus' humble beginnings emphasize God's unexpected ways of bringing salvation to the world. "And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn" (<a href="/luke/2-7.htm">Luke 2:7</a>).<br><br>2. <b>The Calling of the Disciples</b>: Jesus chooses His disciples from among fishermen, tax collectors, and other ordinary individuals, rather than from the religious elite. This unexpected choice highlights that God values faithfulness and willingness over social status or religious credentials. "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 'Come, follow Me,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men'" (<a href="/matthew/4-18.htm">Matthew 4:18-19</a>).<br><br>3. <b>Saul's Conversion</b>: In <a href="/bsb/acts/9.htm">Acts 9</a>, Saul, a fierce persecutor of Christians, is transformed into Paul, one of the most influential apostles. This unexpected conversion illustrates God's power to change hearts and use even the most unlikely individuals for His purposes. "But the Lord said to Ananias, 'Go! This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel'" (<a href="/acts/9-15.htm">Acts 9:15</a>).<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The theme of God using the unexpected serves as a reminder of His omnipotence and the mystery of His will. It challenges believers to trust in God's plan, even when it seems contrary to human logic or understanding. This theme also encourages humility, as it reveals that God's criteria for choosing individuals and methods often differ from human expectations. As the Apostle Paul writes, "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" (<a href="/1_corinthians/1-27.htm">1 Corinthians 1:27</a>).<br><br><b>Practical Applications</b><br><br>Believers are encouraged to remain open to God's leading, even when it comes in unexpected forms. This openness requires faith and a willingness to step outside of comfort zones. Additionally, recognizing that God uses the unexpected can inspire hope and perseverance, knowing that God can work through any situation or individual to accomplish His purposes.</div></div><div
