![The Ordinary Life | Spoken Word #5059 August 30, 2026
We often admire people who have accomplished extraordinary things. Itâs easy to look at their achievements or triumphs and marvel at the extraordinary lives they seem to live. But upon closer examination, we findâas Charles Spurgeon once observedâthat âthe grandest results [come] by the use of ordinary means, by ordinary persons ⊠in ⊠ordinary [ways.]â1
Most of us donât want to be merely âordinary.â Yet itâs impossible to become extraordinary without first being ordinary. Even the word âextraordinaryâ is built upon the word âordinary.â Simply put, the extraordinary starts with the ordinary.
This is true in every walk of life. Day by day we all live very ordinary lives. We awake, prepare for the day, go to school or work, care for children and homes, eat, rest, play, prepare for bed, sleepâand then do it all again, and again, and again. When we climb a mountain, we take one step at a time, focused on the path before us, rarely noticing that with each step we are gaining elevation.
Itâs the same with life, there come moments when we pause, turn, and look back. Suddenly we see just how far weâve come and what we have accomplished. The extraordinary beauty of the ordinary climb was there all alongâwe simply didnât notice it. What once seemed ordinary was, in fact, extraordinary.
In an age of endless comparisons, itâs easy to assume that God is found only in lifeâs extraordinary moments. But the scriptures teach otherwise. Often, God meets us in the ordinary moments of our lives.
Samuel, asleep near the prophet Eli, was awakened by the voice of God.2 Naaman, seeking to be healed of leprosy, was simply told, âgo and wash.â3 Elijah found the Lordâs presence not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire, but in âa still small voice.â4 Sacred moments often come in the midst of ordinary life. God is found in the ordinary.
So if today feels ordinary, take heart. Itâs felt that way for all who have gone before. As we make our daily climb, let us take time to pause, turn, and look at the valley below. From that higher vantage point, we may discover that with God as our guide, what once seemed a very ordinary path has actually been extraordinary all along.
