God does his extraordinary work through common, ordinary people. Our society puts an inordinate emphasis upon external success and being number one.
That doesn't seem to matter a whit to God. Jesus used ordinary flowers, trees, and birds to teach profound lessons about himself and about life. He placed ordinary mud from the ground on the eyes of a blind man and restored his sight. Jesus changed ordinary water into extraordinary wine. He took a lunch of ordinary fish and bread and from them made an extraordinary lunch for five thousand hungry people.
God does the unusual so that we recognize his unmistakable hand. I cannot take the credit for how things work out in my life. I cannot brag about my fine insights, good judgment, or special ability. God makes sure that his accomplishments are performed by him; it is his insight, his good judgment, and his ability that brings extraordinary results out of ordinary circumstances.
