I am a firm believer that not every example we don't have to look just to those in the Word of God as examples. We can look to those around us in every day life - as extraordinary as those people might (or might not) seem. I showed this video last night in CrossFire. It's a man we've all heard of - Tiger Woods - making a 12-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole of the USOpen in 2008.
The story is that he was down by 1 stroke with one chance to tie the leader and force a playoff. Millions of people watching on TV. Hundreds of thousands at the golf course watching live. One putt. Twelve feet. To Tiger it was all very ordinary. You see, he'd made that putt years before he ever stepped to the ball on the 18th green that day. He made that putt when he was 7, practicing thousands of putts a week; or when he was 21 playing golf in college and refining his skills with diligence. Why? Because extraordinary results are gained in ordinary moments.
So what about you? Are you making ordinary choices every day - ordinary choices to serve and honor God? If you are, you can be sure that extraordinary results will follow.
