Have you ever give serious thoughts to the people who were called by God to do extraordinary tasks in the Bible.
- Peter, James and John, fishermen, not well educated or sophisticated yet became a friend of the King
- Moses, loved and chosen by God to lead His people out of their bondage in Egypt
- David, a shepherd boy called by God to win the battle against the giant Goliath, using a stone and a mere slingshot
- Esther, God used her to preserve her people from total destruction at the hands of wicked Haman
- a little boy’s lunch used to feed five thousand hungry people - just five loaves and two small fish
What about you ? Will you be like that unnamed boy who gave all that he had, and God took that boy’s lunch and changed the ordinary into the extraordinary.
If we surrender ourselves to God, He will take us, ordinary people, and He will use us to accomplish extraordinary tasks.Each of us has gifts and abilities yet often we short-change ourselves and never tap into our gifts because we fear others will criticize our performance. Let us be encouraged to get involved, and not to wait until we're perfect, but allow Christ to use the ordinary to achieve the extraordinary.
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
