"O
RDINARY PEOPLE" 
Written by
Carol Steficek



"These were commended for their faith, 
yet none of them received what had been promised.  
God had planned something better for us so that 
only together with us would they be made perfect." 
Hebrews 11:39, 40

Some of the most popular television shows are "idol" shows.  Contestants are trying to gain their moment of fame.  The vast majority of us are just ordinary people living ordinary lives doing ordinary daily tasks.  

The 11th chapter of Hebrews outlines many ordinary people of God who exhibited extraordinary faith -- the thing that really matter in life.  These people did not take pride in themselves.  They didn't seek to do their own will, but rather God's.  And they approached God by faith and lived their faith every day of their lives.  

The world has never and will never recognize people for being great because of their faith.  More likely, Christians will continue to be ridiculed for their faith and even persecuted for it.  But God has something looming ahead in the future that is well worth the price of standing firm in the faith.  The world is not worthy and won't ever recognize or realize the plan of God.  He has reserved eternity for ordinary people with extraordinary faith

"He Delivers Us 
From All Of Our Troubles" 
by Sandy Billingham


We all have times in our life that we face problems and troubles. If you live in this life, there is really no way you can escape them. In fact, God says in His Word we shall have trials and tribulations. Some problems we face may seem insurmountable. We may think there is no answer and no way out and it will be forever. We can
even reach a place of hopelessness and despair if we choose to focus on our troubles. That is definitely not a good place where you want to camp out in your mind. It can lead to depression and other health issues.

One thing is for sure is that our focus needs to stay on the Lord. We cannot pretend the problem is not there and go about our daily life.  We have a Mighty God that will not abandon us during any situation of our life we are walking through. The Lord is the KEY!

He tells us in His Word...
  
"The righteous cry out, 
and the Lord hears
                           and delivers them 
                               out of all their troubles."
                                         Psalm 34:17



As we cry out to our God with our problems, we can be assured that He will hear us loud and clear. Not only does His Word say that He hears us, but He also will deliver us out of every single trouble! So, because His Word is true, we have great confidence that He will provide just what we need to get to the other side as He walks alongside us. 

God's promises in His Word shall come through for us with His wonderful provision. That is just the kind of God that we serve. That is how His Heavenly Kingdom works for His people. We can Praise God and thank Him even in our most difficult times because we know that our God will come through for us no matter how big our troubles may be!

Next time you are struggling with some major problems, look to the Rock, cry out to Him, then expect Him to move those mountains in your life!! He is our Powerful Deliverer and will always come through for You!!
