We are Ordinary P
We are an ordinary people with an Extraordinary Master.
“I am that I am” spoke to Moses an ordinary man, a sinner. Hesham (the Name) was so far above our category it was death to look upon him. Yet Moses was used by God for he chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise… the weak things of the world to shame the strong…the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

"I Am that I Am" spoke to and worked through Moses, a shepherd, a sinner, an ordinary man. YHWH (Lord) was so Holy, so beyond our category that Moses could not look upon him or he would die. The same God that told Mose's he would be with him speaks to us today in the mundane and ordinary difficulties of our lives. God's calling is a reminder that he uses..…what is foolish in the world to shame the wise… what is weak in the world to shame the strong… what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29

"It's all about God. May He forgive us for every time we start to think it's actually all about us."
