“26 Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, 29 so that no one might boast in the presence of God. 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 in order that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord’” 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (NRSV)
“6 When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, ‘Surely the Lord’s anointed is standing before Him.’ 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God does not see as man sees, since man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’ … 10 So Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, ‘The Lord has not chosen these.’ 11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Are these all the boys?’ And he said, ‘The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep.’ So Samuel said to Jesse, “Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here.” 12 So he sent word and brought him in. Now he was reddish, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, ‘Arise, anoint him; for this is he.’ 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward” 1 Samuel 16:6-13 (NASB)
“He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him” Isaiah 53:2 (NIV)
