I think we can all agree that we are living in some interesting times, to say the least. We live in a time where everyone has an opinion, and that opinion can be broadcast worldwide with the press of a button. Sorting through what is fact, what is fiction, and how the information will affect us today and in the future consumes many of us. You only need to turn to social media in order to see this in action.

So often we look at our ordinary lives and don’t believe that we could be used for extraordinary events. If we look in the Bible, we can see plenty of ways that God used the least expected people for His work. 

“Be still, and know that I am God”

Psalm 46:10

I've quoted this scripture a time or two - mostly in connection with an exercise for someone who has become too busy and overwhelmed with life.  I would suggest that they go into a quiet room, sit and invite Jesus to come and just sit with them, and to just enjoy His presence and Spirit for five minutes.
