When the Ordinary Becomes Spectacular

We are often drawn to the things in life that we label "spectacular."  The things that impress, are large-scale, dramatically daring or thrilling.  

Is it possible that something ordinary can become something spectacular?

Filling jars with water was an ordinary task.  Changing it into choice wine was spectacular.  Having fish and bread for lunch was ordinary.  Using it to feed over five thousand people was spectacular.  So what made the difference?  Or rather, who made the difference?

The presentation is simple - black words on white paper.  Ordinary.  The place is a white and orange painted building.  Ordinary.  The people are sitting in plastic chairs at a plastic table.  Ordinary.  What God is doing is...SPECTACULAR!


"...My word that goes out from My mouth...will not return to Me empty, but accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11
