Day 184

Day 184, Awesomely Ordinary

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

(ACTS 4:13)

Hanging out with Jesus makes us more than who we are without him. It’s enough to make you smile: Peter and John weren’t just unschooled, but they were ordinary too.

That means there’s a whole lot of hope for the rest of us. Who hasn’t felt stupid on occasion? Who doesn’t feel ordinary or plain other times? God tells us this story to let us know: it doesn’t matter. Jesus is the one who makes us special. He is the one who makes us extraordinary. He is the one who makes us smarter than we actually are. What a good God!

So on those days when you might be feeling ordinary, remember that you are in good company. Peter and John were two of the treasured disciples who made an amazing difference for good. If Jesus could work with them, he can definitely work with you.

Prayer

Lord, thank you that I don’t have to be a scholar to be used by you. I’m special simply because you made me, and I am so grateful.
