Ordinary to Extraordinary

1 Samuel 9:1-17; 10:1

Main Point: God uses the ordinary affairs of life to bring forth His extraordinary purpose in our lives.

1. God uses the ordinary for extraordinary purposes.
   1. Saul – good looking but with an unimpressive background
   2. A mundane job
2. God may use obstructions and delays to direct us to His will.
3. God will provide the resources and encouragement along the way.
   1. An unlikely companion
   2. A miraculous providence
4. Practising the Presence of God

Reflection:

• Looking back at your life, are there any situations you think of as coincidence but were God’s providence?
• What’s one step you can take to be attentive to God’s presence in your day today?
