Limitations

"If God limited his work to people who were talented, capable or credentialed, there would be no mystery to God's accomplishments, and little glory to his account." - Chuck Smith

This quote reminded me of the many characters in the bible who are 'ordinary' people like us. This makes the mystery of God's work in their lives even more believable, because very little depended on their 'spiritual qualifications.'

If capable and talented people accomplish great things we don't always notice God's Spirit working in their lives, but when something amazing is done through a 'Joe Soap' or 'Mary Bloggs' we know that something supernatural had to have been involved.

Acts 19:11 - "God did extraordinary miracles through Paul..."

No Ordinary people - C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis - “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Very few people are interested in others. If you really find their story interesting, and care about them, they may open up to you and want to hear your story—Christ’s story.”

This is a hard thing to do, because there are so many "grumpy" people out there, but the next person you speak to, reflect on the fact that they are made in the image of God. This then makes them someone who is "extraordinary". 
Try it and see what happens.

Genesis 1:27 -  So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
