You Are Extraordinary
“Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7
The world loves the flashy and glamorous, it loves the spectacular. It relishes the big, bright and expensive. In fact, the bigger, the brighter, the more expensive – the more the world worships it.
I don’t think God is very impressed though. I think He has a different take on the spectacular. One of many examples in the Word is when Gideon defeated the Midianites. It wasn’t with a grand army of thousands – it was with an army of just 300! God took a few ordinary men and created out of them an “extraordinary” victory!
What God really values and cherishes is you. So much so that he gave his only begotten son for you. To Him, you are worth it.
You may think of yourself as just an ordinary person and say, “I don’t have much to offer”, but the truth is that the moment you got born again, God took your ordinary and made it “extraordinary!” You now have in you the Spirit of the living God.
So, choose to let God show forth his glory through your life! Let his Spirit lead and direct you.
No matter what you are going through, be encouraged! God has great things planned for you.
“I’ve heard that you have the spirit of the gods in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom.” Daniel 5:4
“Therefore I will again do an amazing thing for these people — an absolutely extraordinary deed. Wise men will have nothing to say, the sages will have no explanations.” Isaiah 29:14
