Ordinary: “of no special quality or interest; commonplace; unexceptional; not special in any way”
The council members were astonished as they witnessed the bold courage of Peter and John, especially when they discovered that they were just ordinary men who had never had religious training. Then they began to understand the effect Jesus had on them simply by spending time with him.
Acts 4:13 The Passion Translation
God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
It doesn’t matter who we are. It matters who He is.
Christine Caine
“All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose he has given them.”
Oswald Chambers
It’s amazing to me what an adventure even an “ordinary” life can be
when you put Jesus in the middle of it all.

The foolish things of God are wiser than human wisdom.
The weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when God chose you. Not many of you were considered wise by human standards. Not many of you were powerful. Not many of you belonged to important families. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the things of this world that are common and looked down on. God chose things considered unimportant to do away with things considered important. So no one can boast to God.
1 Corinthians 1:25-29 New International Reader’s Version
Don’t underestimate what God can do with ordinary people.
David Platt
