«Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength» (Psalm 8:2).
A YOUNG BOY just twelve years old went out every day to sell Christian books and to seek souls for the kingdom of heaven. That was his life; that was his mission. One night he was carrying magazines to sell, and he found himself in a place known as El Chaparral. Men went there to drink alcohol and «have fun.» Suddenly, in the distance, the boy hard the beautiful notes of a musical instrument. It was a trumpet. He decided to follow the sound of the music until he entered the place where it came from, and found a man of brown complexion, green eyes, and stout physique playing the trumpet. Without thinking twice, right there he told him about Jesus. trumpeter, who turned out to have a great spiritual inclination, was impressed with the child who showed him a way out of his life of misfortune.
Although the boy did not know it, that man was one of the best trumpet players in the country. Sometime later, he could be seen and heard playing the trumpet in church, to the honor and glory of God. However, life’s problems suffocated him and he was never heard from again at church. Nothing more was known of him, but of his children, yes, because before leaving, that man did something wonderful: he preached the gospel to his children and took them to church. Most of them were baptized. Currently, some eight people, including children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, congregate in the Adventist church and are faithful to God. Although the fate of the trumpeter is a great mystery still today, we hope to see him in heaven.
The fruits of that young twelve-year-old were multiplied exponentially— that is how the seed of the gospel works. The same happens in our lives. Only in heaven will we discover how many souls are the result of our simple preaching, perhaps by word, perhaps merely through our example
We cannot fail to see that we are instruments in the Lord’s hands. You and I are the means He uses to bring souls to the foot of the cross. Your life and my life, lived with integrity, simplicity, and Christian service, will yield wonderful fruits to the honor and glory of God. Remember this every morning before you start your daily routine. And thank You, Lord, for that privilege.
