"Extraordinary Marriage"
Luke 4:20
Miriam Webster's Dictionary defines extraordinary as "going beyond what is usual, regular, or customary, even extraordinary powers." Marriage today is not looked upon as extraordinary but it has become very ordinary and if we don't like it we can just throw it away and start anew. A covenant marriage designed by God is "Extraordinary" He is placing this union of one man and one woman in high regard. John Bevere says in his book "Extraordinary - The Life You Were Meant To Live," Isn't it true that we long to see the extraordinary, experience the extraordinary, and do the extraordinary? Yet, so often we settle for mediocrity when greatness is within our grasp. Why are we drawn to stories of heroic triumph over seemingly impossible circumstances? In our fascination with adventure movies, superheroes, and tales of incredible human feats, do we reveal an inherent desire for something larger and greater in life? Maybe what we think is a need to escape or be entertained is actually a God inspired longing...for the extraordinary. All of us were "meant for more," extraordinarily created and intended for a life that is anything but ordinary. I believe all of us are marked for a life that far surpasses the usual definitions of success or fulfillment.
