April 6, 2009 - A Blind Squirrel

This afternoon I watched my 9 yr old son in a soccer game. Elisha is very fast, has good size, and good stamina. Yet he knows very little about the game and typically doesn’t exhibit a competitive spirit – but he has fun. In the game today he was very active and low and behold he scored a goal – proving that even a blind squirrel will sometimes find a nut.

He really had a great time and told me afterwards that soccer is his favorite sport. I was so glad he enjoyed himself. The great lesson was seeing him give it a try – putting forth the effort.

This week we celebrate the greatest story in history – the death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. What an awesome truth to see that God loved us so much that He would send His Son to die in our place. And that we could have eternal life through believing in Him!

Why don’t you share that message with someone this week? I don’t want to hear the excuse that you don’t feel qualified or you don’t know how to. “Get in the game and play!” It is not about you anyway. Romans 1:16 tells us that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation – just share what Jesus has done for you and for the person you are talking to.

You may be surprised by the results – even a blind squirrel will sometimes find a nut!

(Share John 3:16, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 2:8-9, and the list could go on and on…)
