We’re just getting home from an amazing weekend. We just experienced nearly ten hours of amazing Christian concert worship and a historic Potential Church service at the BB&T Center. Plus we had lives changed at all of our other campuses outside of the South Florida area during their services!
As I sat and thought about what we were all just a part of… it hit me. It was something that Hillsong United said in between songs yesterday at the show. The singer told the audience that the night wasn’t about performing or entertaining… it was about pleasing the only One who matters… God. He said that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when their only intention is making their Creator happy.
Do you feel ordinary today? Plain?
Good.
You are exactly the type of person God uses to change the world. Joseph was a prisoner... Gideon was a farmer... David was a shepherd... Mary was a teenager... Luke was a doctor... Matthew collected taxes... and Peter caught fish long before he was called a “fisher of men”.
When we read that list, we think “God’s all-stars” But they didn’t think of themselves that way. In their minds, they were just regular people doing what God had asked them to do... and changing the world in the process.
Fact is, every person He creates is knitted together with a purpose. A destiny. That includes you. You may have opened your eyes this morning feeling plain but you aren’t. God had a plan for those He used in the Bible... and He has one for you. He specializes in doing extraordinary things through ordinary people who are committed to fulfilling His purpose in their lives. There’s nothing common about that!
