God chooses the ordinary to do extraordinary things so His power can be magnified. When the King was welcomed into the world, only ordinary people surrounded Him: a teenage girl, a poor carpenter, and lowly shepherds.

God doesn’t ask us to be impressive but to be thankful and faithful.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive
