Using the Ordinary for the Extraordinary

Everything you need to fulfill your destiny is within your reach. Sometimes, these items may look ordinary, but when placed in God's hands they will become extraordinary.

Take David for example...he had a slingshot and a pile of stones. He could have thought he had no chance against Goliath with such ordinary objects, but knew how to make them extraordinary. Moses? He had a stick. Pharaoh and the others were cornering them against the sea and it looked like there was no option. Moses could have asked for something big, and that's eventually what happened, but it started with something small. He was asked to pick up a stick and hold it in the air.

Here's the key: If you do the ordinary, God will do the extraordinary. If you do the natural, you'll have help with the supernatural.

Moses held up the rod, the ordinary stick, and you know the rest of the story...

Could it be you are looking somewhere far away when the answer is close to you? Do you possibly have all you need but you are looking for something that will give you goosebumps when the answer is really ordinary?
God, open my eyes to help me realize what I have at my disposal. Help me recognize the people you put in my life, the resources, the ideas, the opportunities that help me move towards my divine destiny.
Here's the question: Do you recognize what you have? Can you see what's around you, at your disposal, within your reach? It may not seem like much, especially compared to the situation. If you just analyze what you have however, you can defeat whatever giant you are up against with the slightest of materials. As long as you recognize exactly who it is equipping you, you will have nothing to worry about! The giants may be big, but the power backing you up is much, much bigger.
