Yesterday we ended our series on uncommon books and as I prepared to move to the next series which I mapped out and prayed about I wrote down and said what about uncommon books to an uncommon life. We are not meant to have a common life; we are meant to have an uncommon life. This is because we are God's people, and we are sold out for Him. God has great things in store for the people who choose to follow and be on fire for Him. Do you think Daniel would have survived all that he did if his life was to be common, I think not? Or David with Goliath, would he have been victorious if his life was just common, I think not?
Let's look at the Bible to why this is so:
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26 -27 ESV. This tells us that God created man and woman in His own image. And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:24 ESV. We were created to have the likeness of God and with that comes greatness that can only come from an uncommon life.
Think about if we were to have a common life would God have created us in His own image as stated in the Bible. No, we are meant for more, we are meant to have an uncommon life and have a life of heaven and blessing.
I leave today with one final verse to an uncommon life.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11. God has plans for us and if it were to be common he would not tak the time for these plans to come to life and want good things for our life. A common life leads to evil and the devil to take over.
Have an Uncommon Day!!!!
