Molded in the ordinary

God has placed you in situations that are not His ultimate purpose for your life, but that shape and prepare you for that greater plan.

Daily

“Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him”
Hebrews 5:8-9

Jesus wasn’t made to be a carpenter, but for 30 years, He was in that position.

He knew deep inside that carpentry was not His life’s purpose. He was created and destined for something much greater.

God prepared His Son through simple, everyday activities for a supernatural calling, and He can prepare and transform you in your work and daily tasks as well.

Constantly obedient

“Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us”
2 Corinthians 1:21

We often think that God only prepares us spiritually when we are in a spiritual environment.

Of course, that strengthens our contact and relationship with God, but it is not the only place where He works.

He is using your daily obedience and consistency to build the supernatural, not through extraordinary events. The one who is faithful in little is also faithful in much. The one who obeys in the simple things also fears the Lord when something greater happens.

God uses the ordinary to lead you to the extraordinary.

Don’t hide!

“He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.”
Luke 19:12,13

God wants to trust you to take care of the small details of your life.

Just like in the parable of the ten minas, God places opportunities and resources in His children’s hands that may seem simple in everyday life, and then He waits to see what we do with what has been given to us.

Whether we use it, invest it, and produce more for the Kingdom, or if we simply keep it and hide it away.

Jesus helped, taught, and built. He was shaped in humility and patience. At the right time, God raised Him as a Leader and Savior. You are being prepared, don’t feel forgotten. Everything you do can lead you to God’s promise.
