God Uses the Ordinary to do the Extraordinary!
While sitting in the RV this morning, spending time with the Lord and doing my daily devotionals, I was reminded by one of them (The Chosen) that God does accomplish the extraordinary with the ordinary!
I have preached on this as well as given testimony numerous times that God uses me and that is proof that he will use the ordinary, amen?
We are so often we focus on our own shortcomings and decide that we can’t be THE person to do something for the Lord. And you know what? We are right, if we leave Jesus out of the equation! Amen?
But if you include the Lord in the equation, then ANYTHING the Lord wants to do through us can be done!
Do you focus on your deficits? When asked about doing something for the church, do you decline by explaining that you can’t for whatever reasons?
Maybe you have been invited to accompany a brother or sister to an outreach and you decline because you don’t know how or what you are supposed to do?
Don’t feel bad. It seems like everything extraordinary that God has ever accomplished, he has done with ordinary people with excuses.
Moses made excuses about his speech! Yet, God used him to lead HIS people out of Egypt! Amen?
Gideon was scared but also became a leader for the Lord!
All the disciples were ordinary! In fact, Jesus used the most ordinary he could find!
He called and used Local fishermen, tent makers, and even a tax collector!
My own life proves that God will use an ordinary person for HIS work, amen? You see God has already ordained our steps.
Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
And if we let HIM, he will make a way for us no matter what the circumstances. He will make a way no matter what our excuses are.
Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV (18) Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. (19) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
If you are not sure what you are supposed to be doing for the Lord, today ask the Lord what it is HE wants you to do for HIM.
If you have been running from and making excuses why you can not do something for the Lord, pray for the Lord to bring the wisdom of comfort of the above scriptures onto you.
Your steps are ordained of the Lord and HE can make a way for you to do whatever it is!
Have a blessed day.

Amen. Jeremiah 29:11
Yes indeed
AMEN!! Don't let what the enemy feeds you nourish your mind. Let the truth of God's word and you are be the food your thoughts thrive on! When we do that and Jesus is involved, giants get slain, addictions are conquered,, slaves get set free, revivals are started, tax collectors become disciples, and each of will be shown our purposes too!!! AMEN.
Amen indeed!
