The dictionary definition of ordinary is "normal, usual, not interesting or exceptional" while the definition of extraordinary is "very unusual or remarkable." So this focus is on usual people doing unusual things; i.e., ordinary people doing things out of the ordinary.
Consider. Once ordinary Ruth made a commitment to her mother-in-law's God, life for her took on extraordinary meaning to the extent that this Gentile woman is found in the lineage of Jesus (see Matthew 1:5). An ordinary shepherd boy named David was recognized by God in an extraordinary way -- God identified David as a man after His own heart (see Acts 13:22).
The very ordinary and unlearned disciples became extraordinary apostles who created a new world order, the Christian church.
Are you allowing God to use ordinary you? Has God chosen ordinary you to do extraordinary things? See the Word,
Daniel 11:32b -- " ... but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]" (AMP, emphasis added). Are you an ordinary person who knows your God?
