An ordinary girl – Mary. An ordinary young man – Joseph. An ordinary town – Bethlehem. We’d know nothing about Mary, Joseph or Bethlehem if God had not chosen them to be intimately involved in His plan to rescue the world from sin’s curse. Does your life seem ordinary? Advent reminds us that the history of redemption is a history of God breaking into very ordinary lives and doing His work to accomplish His purposes. What turns ordinary into extraordinary is the presence of God, doing God’s work, fulfilling God’s agenda. The extraordinary life is all about God, not us! Mary realized this and proclaimed: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior”(Luke 1:46-47, NKJV).
