SABRINA
Christmas is THE time to realize God's miraculous
works through the ordinary. Take David. The youngest son of a
large family, small for his age. Nothing special. The old priest
Zechariah and his wife, Elizabeth. From a small town, not wealthy, no
children. Yet, it was this old faithful couple that God chose to raise
John the Baptist.
Joseph and Mary were ordinary. No great wealth or
power, but rather they came from an extremely small village other Jews
overlooked.
I think this is part of the Christmas story that
gives us hope. When we evaluate ourselves against the standard the world
uses, we realize that we are not superstars. There are people who are
more attractive, have higher IQs, more money. But God sees us in a different
light. God desires people who live by faith and seek to serve Him. God
wants to use ordinary people, people like you and me, to change the
world.
Go today allowing God to do the EXTRAORDINARY in
your life! It is indeed what Christmas is about. An ordinary baby who
forever changed the world!
