Ordinary Versus Extraordinary

April 2, 2012

For more than a century, the pinnacle of golf has been to score 59—a score that had been recorded only three times in PGA Tour history before 2010. Then, in 2010, Paul Goydos scored a 59—only to be equaled a month later by Stuart Appleby’s 59. Consequently, some sportswriters speculated that the most coveted achievement in golf was now becoming commonplace! It’s amazing to see two 59s in the same season, but it would be a mistake to begin to view this as ordinary.

For those who follow Jesus Christ, it is also a mistake to view the remarkable as ordinary. Think about prayer for instance. At any moment we can talk to the Creator God who spoke the universe into existence! Not only are we welcomed into His presence, but we are invited to enter boldly: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16).

There is nothing ordinary about access to God—yet sometimes we take this privilege for granted. He is almighty God, but He is also our Father who loves us and allows us to call on Him at any moment of any day. Now that’s extraordinary!

Our prayers ascend to heaven’s throne
Regardless of the form we use;
Our Father always hears His own
Regardless of the words we choose. —D. De Haan

God is always available to hear the prayers of His children.

Read: Romans 8:12-26

You received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” —Romans 8:15

Bible in a Year:
1 Kings 11-13

[MEG33]

I love the message and this scripture:

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16).

Thank you, Rus.

The older I become the less I like change. It means doing, and going along a different path. Even in minor ways. Change is a good way to clean out the corners of the mind. But it does require effort and paying attention to details again. All of which means it is desirable too. It is good to look at our habits, perhaps we can alter and find a better way. This includes our time spent with the LORD especially. To become complacent is not recommended. Liven us the day. Do something new!

[geologist]

People had a mind set that believed certain things, (such as having a score of 59,) couldn’t be done. Once someone does it then they know it is possible and suddenly others do it too. Our beliefs govern us strongly. If we did not continually limit our belief system we might all be more successful. The power of belief ... in James 1 it is recorded we must believe what it is we are praying to happen.

***********************************************************

James 1:5-7

5.If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not and it shall be given him.
6, But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering for he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed,
7. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Walk in the light of God

She does have quite the story, M.

I'm sure there are many who are sorry to see such history will be coming to an end.

[MEG33]
