      Dedication

      This book and all the ones to come is humbly dedicated

      to my Heavenly Father.

      Jesus prayed, “Father, the time has come for you

      to bring glory to your Son,

      in order that he may bring glory to you…

      I have brought glory to you here on earth

       by doing everything you gave me to do. John 17:1, 4 (CEV)

      Acknowledgements

      I thank God for the pastors (shepherds) that God has brought into my life: Rev. Perry Dalton, Dr. Robert McKibben, and Rev. Bruce Sheffield, who, like Jesus, opened their cloaks and showed me their heart for Christ each Sunday morning.

      All the “ordinary” people that my Extraordinary God has used to touch my life, molding me like clay on the potter’s wheel. I am thankful that God is willing to break me and start again.

      My children who have taught me so much about being a child of God: Janet, who truly has the gift of faith, John, a gentle warrior for the weak, and James, who showed more Godly courage and peace in his life than most of us know is available to us.

      My husband, Henry, who encourages me, teaches me, and loves me because God said so.

      Weekly Prayer/Study Groups

      As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

      All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart. Proverbs 21:2

      Weekly study or prayer groups are a VITAL part of discipleship. In these two verses from the book of Proverbs alone I hear the Lord telling me how important it is that I am accountable to other Christians who are also desiring to grow in the Lord. In a small group of fellow believers I will see how God intended His Church to grow as a Body, each member being gifted for the role that He has for them, networking together to support and encourage each other so they can go out into the world to spread the Good News.

      This book is designed to give a short devotion that may be used to ‘jump start’ the group’s time together. The content page gives a listing of the 52 weeks with a note of how that particular devotion could be date-sensitive to the time of year. The space to the left of the list allows you to ‘check off’ a week, giving your group the option to skip around through the book or working your way from front to back.

      Like its older sibling, Daily Devotions of Ordinary People – Extraordinary God, I have included some short notes on some of the ordinary people who have impacted my life and I encourage your group to take time at each meeting to PRAISE GOD and THANK HIM for the people He has brought into your lives, remembering that it is GOD who is extraordinarily working through these ordinary people.

      God bless you as you continue to grow by the power of His Holy Spirit and the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
