God uses Ordinary People for Extraordinary Things - Leané van Eyk
God's work often involves using ordinary people for his extraordinary purpose. Throughout the Bible, we see how God uses people like Moses, Rahab, Gideon, and David to be a light in the darkness around them. We also see how Jesus was the ultimate light and that he calls us to reflect his light into the dark world that we are living in.
