"Does God wear camouflage?"


A four-year-old boy was in a class at his church studying spiritual leaders from his religious tradition. One particular leader lived many, many years ago, and spent most of his time walking from place to place and eating foods he could find outdoors like wild honey and grasshoppers.

Of course a four-year-old boy is intrigued by the thoughts of eating wild honey and grasshoppers. Like so many of the little boys that age, this one idolizes his dad who enjoys hunting. He’s thinking this spiritual leader was pretty cool like his dad, doing lots of outdoor things.

So after the lesson was over, one of the teachers asked the class what this spiritual leader wore. And the little boy raised his hand and shouted out, "I’ll bet he wore camouflage!"

This little boy, in his own way, made the connection between someone he knows and loves—his dad—and an important historical, spiritual leader. He related his own life to what God did in someone else’s life.

Look around your relationships today and discover God in someone you love!
