The last couple days, the name Susan Boyle has sprung up and made her an overnight, worldwide sensation because of her audition on the UK talent competition Britain’s Got Talent. If you haven’t seen the video of her audition yet, click here.

While I was at a chiropractor appointment yesterday, the doctor and I were talking about that performance and he suggested looking up another audition of an amazing talent that you wouldn’t expect just by looking at him. This kid might literally knock the socks off of your feet and give you goose bumps at the same time.

I think these two videos reveal so much about the character of God. These are two people who wouldn’t get a second glance by just about all of us, but both possess amazing gifts and voices that can blow you away.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:3-10

Sometimes God blows my mind with how He shows and reveals Himself in our world. The thing is though, these are just two stories among millions of how God is present and showing Himself in our world every day. I know we as a whole like to see these big stories and videos of people on the other side of the world doing great things, but there is also a lot of stuff that God is showing us here on the home-front.

Let’s see what God is showing us here today
