Just an ordinary girl serving and extraordinary God.
A lot of people are walking around nowadays thinking more highly of themselves than they probably should. In their minds, they are an extraordinary person but in reality they have nothing to show for it. They’re the ones with the get-rich-quick schemes. (S)he’s the person always quick to gamble YOUR money and even quicker to not apologize when they lose it. They work very hard to never have to work hard, ever.
But there is nothing wrong with being ordinary if it means you are walking in God’s Wisdom. It is an honorable trait to want to work hard and reap the benefits of your labor. It’s still a blessing to have a job or business to go to everyday. It may seem mundane and normal to those “special” folk around you. But in God’s Kingdom there is Wisdom in being ordinary.
Proverbs 12:9
New King James Version
Better is the one who is slighted but has a servant,
Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.
The Message:
Better to be ordinary and work for a living than act important and starve in the process.
Contemporary English Version:
It’s better to be ordinary and have only one servant than to think you are somebody and starve to death.
