Genesis 6:14 – 17 The Lord said to Noah, ‘Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.  Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks.

Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet and besought Him, saying, ‘My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live’. And Jesus went with him. (Mark 5:22 - 24)

Matthew 19:13, 14.

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people; but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus referred to the children as lost sheep and it was the will of the Father that not one of these little ones should perish (Matthew 18:14)

2 Chronicles 14 – 16

King Asa started his reign by doing what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord. When Zerah the Ethiopian came with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots to fight the small army of Judah and Benjamin, he cried out to the Lord saying, ‘O’ Lord there is none like Thee to help between the mighty and the weak – We rely on thee’. The Lord heard his beautiful prayer and routed the Ethiopians until none remained alive.

Joseph, the blue-eyed boy of his father Jacob, exposed his naivety by sharing his God-given euphoric dreams to his green-eyed brothers. Driven by extreme jealousy, the brothers of Joseph put him in a pit and later sold him off to the Ishmaelites for monetary gain. 

If you would carefully examine the extra-ordinary lives of God’s servants in the Bible, it would make you wonder what was that ‘little extra’ they had - that made them extra-ordinary!

Starting with Moses; - he was challenged by God to catch the rod-turned-snake by its tail. Though initially he vamoosed, he mustered enough courage to obey God and seize the poisonous reptile, which I believe lesser mortals would not have even attempted!

God on seeing that Moses was willing to risk the unusual, became a part and parcel of his life.
