Am I Ordinary?

If you are a Christ follower, then you have the EXTRAORDINARY JESUS living on the inside of you, and there is nothing ordinary about you!

Viewing ourselves through the world’s view may lead us to think otherwise, so that’s why it’s important that we study who we are through the lens of scripture.

You have searched me, LORD, and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways.

He knows YOU because He created YOU.

Before a word is on my tongue You, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and You lay Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

He’s interested in every detail of your life.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.

You can’t escape His Love for you.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are Your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.

You are such a big deal to Him, that He planned out your life before you were even born.

Friend, these words are not simply beautiful poetry from Psalm 139 - they are LIFE GIVING TRUTH!

Know that you were created for a reason and God has a plan for your life – an EXTRAORDINARY one!
