We go to work, we come home, we...

eat dinner, we do it again, we get up in the morning, we go mow the lawn, we do this, we do... It can feel ordinary.

But I want to tell you something.

God didn't save you.

He didn't call you.

He didn't choose you to be ordinary.

He called you to be extraordinary.

And you've got to understand because you house the living God...

You are extraordinary.

You're set apart.

You're called by God and he has assignments for you to do.

You see, it's so interesting because sometimes people don't recognize the call of God on our life.

They don't understand the call of God.

Or like I said, we may feel ordinary.

We wonder if we're accomplishing what God even wants us to accomplish.

See, so often we determine the power of God within us by what's going on around us.

You see, if I was maybe doing a little better, if God liked me a little more, this wouldn't be happening.

Or maybe if I could just get a little closer to God, I wouldn't be going through this trial.

But can I tell you something?

That's the way man looks at things.
