Everyday Heroes [1]


When we think of heroes, our mind may automatically envision a caped crusader like Batman or Superman, or the ones without capes like Spiderman and Wonder Woman. If we think about it a little longer, our mind may take us to Firefighters, Police Officers, and Military soldiers. But do we ever think that we can become heroes? Do we allow ourselves the possibility that God can take our ordinary lives and make them extraordinary? He strategically places individuals and places us in situations that if we do the right thing at the right time, elevates us to hero status. Everyday, God wants to use us to help others. Are we going to shrug off the initial fear of doing something out of the ordinary and become someone extraordinary?In the parable of the talents, a manger gave three employees money. Two employees invested their money and doubled it. One employee did nothing with it. When the manager came back he praised the two that did something with the little bit they had, and scolded the third one for not doing anything. Remember: Use what you got and God will give you more.

When it comes to being a everday hero, you have to start somewhere. Start by using what skill, talent, gift you have to help others out. God will give you more.
