Devotional: Extraordinary in the Ordinary

"Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." — Luke 1:28

God has a way of choosing the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary. Mary’s story reminds everyone that significance isn’t measured by status, talent, or recognition. Even in small towns, ordinary jobs, or quiet routines, God’s grace is at work, inviting hearts to trust, to serve, and to love.

This season, notice the ordinary moments around you: a smile that brightens a day, a neighbor in need, or a small act of kindness. These moments are stages for God’s love to flow, and every act of attention, care, or mercy participates in God’s plan. Ordinary lives, embraced with faith, become vessels of transformation for communities, families, and the world.

Prayer:
Loving Creator, thank You for choosing ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. Open hearts to see where Your grace is at work, and equip every person to respond with trust, courage, and love. Help everyone to notice the small opportunities to serve, to show mercy, and to embody Your presence in everyday life. May ordinary moments become extraordinary expressions of Your love, and may faith guide every action this season. Amen.
