My wife and I were watching “America’s Got Talent”
tonight, and a precious little 5 year old girl suddenly strutted her stuff
across the stage. “Annie” was dressed like a little cowgirl replete with a pink
and white blouse and skirt, and western boots.
As the music began, the little tyke began tap dancing and
belting out a popular tune, and I can tell you she did an absolutely remarkable
job of it.
As Annie finished her routine, the four judges seemed to
be beaming from ear to ear, and clapped wildly. When the cheering of the
audience finally died down, Howard Stern, the popular host of smut radio, (and
an obvious infidel) looked directly at the little girl, and spoke to her.
“That was good, Annie. You must have Shirley Temple
living inside of you.”
To which the kindergartner responded,
“No, I don’t.
…I have Jesus living inside of me!”
Wow. Talk about a spontaneous and fitting reply, and one
which Howard Stern needed to hear.
There’s a couple popular phrases in our culture. “Out of
the mouths of babes” and “A little child shall lead them.” Who can deny this
was one of those “for just such a time as this” moments when an adult was
taught by a child, and God was gracious to make Himself known.
