God Uses Everyday People and Everyday Moments
God Uses Everyday People and Everyday Moments
God’s mission does not depend on titles or platforms. Luke was a doctor, not an apostle, yet God used his skills and curiosity to shape the story of Jesus for generations. The Gospel advances through ordinary people who say “yes” to God’s call, using their unique gifts, stories, and relationships for His purposes.
You don’t have to be famous or especially gifted to make a difference in God’s kingdom. Every talent, every conversation, every act of service can be leveraged for the sake of the Gospel. God delights in using the unlikely and the overlooked, people just like you, to carry His message, one life at a time.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (KJV): “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
Reflection: What is one ordinary skill, resource, or relationship you have that God might want to use for His mission? How can you offer it to Him in a practical way this week?
