Inspired beyond the Ordinary

Routine blinds the mind of the adventure that lays just beyond. Consumed by ordinary details, by habits, by tasks that fill our to-do lists, we leave little room for the divine inspiration that surrounds our lives beyond our ordinary mindset. It is hope that pulls us beyond our human logic, that forces us to believe there is more than what our human eyes can see.

Fear forces us to think and feel that we toil in vain. We are led to believe that the extraordinary is for those not living in the ordinary. We live with hope just out of reach, with despair in our hands and fear in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Ephesians 3:19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God

Philippians 4:7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus (NLT)

God calls the ordinary into the extraordinary. As Christians, we are living witnesses of God's power and purpose. It is in our ordinary that He proves that it is only by his grace and power that we can be lifted up from the toil, from the fear and be people of purpose and power for His name and His calling.

The three scriptures above all have a common theme, which is that in this world the knowlege of Christ faces oposition and that there is a power that threatens to keep our peace and clarity from the hands of God. We have to take thoughts captive, we have to go beyond our own human knowlege, and we have to find peace when understanding is out of reach.

Do you live for Christ? Do you live a self-less life and find fulfillment in the peace that passes our own selfish understanding? I tackle these questions every moment of every day. Some live behind the logic that Faith easily washes over us and surrounds us from the moment we accept Christ into our lives until the moment we die but faith is a relationship and it requires work, it requires choices, and it requires trust.

Be Inspired beyond the Ordinary. Live a life of hope and of peace where understanding is found not in routine but in the adventure of not knowing what tomorrow brings but in who brings tomorrow.
