Five Minute Friday - Ordinary
Five Minute Friday – Ordinary
Linking in with Lisa Jo to write for 5 minutes only. See the bottom of the post if you want to join.
Synonyms for the word ORDINARY:
common – usual – regular – normal – habitual – customary
I love ordinary. I love when things are going regularly. Everyone is well. Everyone is happy. There are lulls like this – and I breathe them in.
But I know too even for me, that ordinary doesn’t last. There are things that come to break that ordinariness. Sometimes those things are good; some not so good. But in all of them I still stand on the Word of God. God is always in our circumstances.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NIV).
And then there are those not so ordinary God experiences. I have had several this week.
In one case I heard of a friend’s daughter who saved her child and another child when they fell in a not-so-frozen lake. And the daughter is 8 months pregnant. How did she manage to do that? – God – for sure, for sure. And the prayer of others for protection for families.
In another I heard how God is working in a life to make changes in a heart so that there is no fear, only acceptance and love.
Myself – I see how God puts people in my path, both for my writing and for prayer. That is so awesome – to see it is God.
Though I like ordinary
I am looking out for an extraordinary God
who is unfathomable, unchangeable, unordinary God. Tweet this.
Can you see God at work in your ordinary life? Let me know in the comment section.
Blessings,
Janis
