Peepers! I heard spring peepers toward the end of my HS/MS route! There’s a lot to delight in throughout the winter, and I truly cherish each season for their blessings, but I am ready for the transition to spring. And, Father, You have gifted this part of the world with these small chorus frogs which proclaim for all to hear that it has come! It still brings a smile to my face even though I heard them over two and a half hours ago!
Now let’s flip that around some. We, as followers of and believers in Christ, have something far more fantastic to proclaim than spring after a long winter! There are so many people in our world who are hopelessly lost. Every day our world continues to hammer home in their hearts and minds that this life is it! Our existence has come about by happenstance. We have no reason to be. We are no more special than anyone or anything else. We are just the result of primordial goo that “happened” to be in the right place at the right time.
But it is a lie! A lie configured to fill the void when the Truth was rejected!
But as children of our Heavenly Father, we have wonderfully amazing news to proclaim to the hopelessly lost! It is not just religiosity! It is not just ritual! It is a relationship! And it is getting to know Who made us and why He made us! Because (here we go again!) “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.” Ephesians 1:4 NLT
We have hope! We need not be lost! Someone is all out seeking us out! For the Apostle Paul proclaims,
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.”
But here is where we fit it to the grand scheme of things!
14 But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher (messenger)? 15 And how will they preach unless they are commissioned and sent [for that purpose]? Just as it is written and forever remains written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” Romans 10:13-15 AMP
Take up the challenge, right here, right now! Join the ranks of the spring peepers and proclaim for all to hear that it – the end of hopeless lostness – has come!
