God Chooses the Ordinary to do the Extraordinary

Today I was sitting and waiting on the Lord. He gave me a word for me and for you today. I was daring to venture on the thoughts that I am not good enough to be a writer, speaker and anything else he calls me to do. He said to me "I specialize in taking the ordinary and using them for extraordinary things."  The Lords words gripped me and made me feel so welcomed to do things for him rather than being left out feeling less than. This word is for you who are reading this today too! 

Here are some examples of this truth in God's word. 

1. Jesus was born in an ordinary manger. Luke 2:1-20
2. Jesus uses five loaves of bread and five fish to feed 5000. John 6:1-14
3. Jesus turned ordinary water into wine. John 2: 1-11
4. Jesus looked ordinary. Isaiah 53:2
5. He made simple Ester a Queen. Ester 2
6. He used a gentile prostitute named Rahab to save his men And become part of the lineage of Jesus. Joshua 2
7. God used two elderly people to birth a new nation, a new covenant and promises for all Gods people forever more to come. Genesis 17

 
There are many more examples all in the Bible. Just look and you will see that using what we think is ordinary is indeed God's specialty. And if you think about it nothing God made is ordinary in my book. Never feel you are not good enough. God loves to make himself strong in our weakness. If you feel you do not measure up guess what you do not on your own in this fallen world but he does and that is what it is all about. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
