God wants to take ordinary lives and make them
extraordinary. We weren’t made to live
boring lives where it’s the “same old same old.” There’s more to life than living and
dying. We were made to live an exciting
adventure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said,
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Many people live dull and mundane stressful
lives, and they have no sense of lasting motivation or joy or enthusiasm. God never intended for us to live depressed,
worried, fearful, powerless, and mundane lives.
That’s not the kind of life God wants us to live. But for many that’s their “normal” way of
life. God wants to take your ordinary
way of living life and transform it into a life that is extraordinary. You were made for more than you think. The Bible says in Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) Now all
glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to
accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
How is your life changed from ordinary living to
extraordinary living?
1. Value your future
resurrection to be better than your life now.
They placed their hope
in a better life after the resurrection. Hebrews 11:35 (NLT)
2. Submit to the
leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Make it a daily practice.
Make it an on-going practice throughout each day. Take action based on what you learn from
God’s Word. It’s called obedience.
3. Live loved and forgiven.
Do not let the grace
that you received from God be for nothing. 2 Corinthians 6:1 (NCV)
4. Keep company with
Jesus.
They realized then
that they had been companions of Jesus. Acts 4:13 (GNT)
- Read and study God’s Word, the Bible
- Pray persistently
- Fellowship regularly with other believers
