Lights! Camera! Action!

Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

The world loves the extraordinary, the spectacular. It relishes on the big, bright, grand, and expensive. I remember when we traveled through Las Vegas years ago, to speak at a church in Carson City.  The lights, the size of everything — crazy! But all I could think as we rolled down Sunset Strip was how sad it is that this is what the world finds extraordinary. 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 slightly 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 a measly 300! You see, God took a few ordinary men and created out of them an “extraordinary” victory!

We may think to ourselves “I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t have much to offer.” But when we are born again, God takes our ordinary and makes it “extraordinary!”

Let’s dare to let God in on the things we find weak and uninteresting about our lives today and watch as He turns it to spectacular! Be encouraged! God has great things planned!
