Here is another song to remind you about our great God.  Do you see grace in this way?  Enjoy this song by Elevation worship.

Do you want to be ordinary?  Is this a bad word?  What images come to mind? Average, mediocre, passive? I am reading through Ordinary by Michael Horton with a group as an online book discussion.  I have read two chapters up to this point.  Part of me is not fond of the word, ordinary.  I want to believe that through the Holy Spirit's power, we can be extraordinary.  I would like to see God do amazing things through us that can not be explained as ordinary.  However, the author is sharing some good thoughts.  Here are some quotes from the first two chapters: We are called to grow in a personal relationship with Christ. We are also called to love and serve others--our fellow believers and our neighbors.

"We should not forget that Satan's very first temptation of mankind was based on questioning the goodness and generosity of God (see Genesis 3:1-5). And his vicious attack on the patriarch Job was designed to cause Job to question God's goodness so that he would then curse God (see Job 1:6-11). Satan has not changed his strategy today. This perception of God as the reluctant giver comes right from Satan and must be resisted by us if we are to experience the fullness of God's grace."

As I was looking at Facebook and Twitter last week, I was reminded of how hurtful we can be with our words to others created in the image of God.  Therefore, I want to declare truth from God's Word about who you really are.  This is a repeat on this blog, but it needs repeating. YOU ARE BLESSED “ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)
