Inspirational: THE ROCKS WOULD CRY OUT

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 4.5.26

Words can’t begin to describe the beauty God has given us to enjoy.

The mountains rise in majesty.

The oceans teem with breathtaking wonders our eyes can barely take in.

Flowers bloom with colors too beautiful to capture in words.

Trees tower so high that if you try to see their tops, you’ll fall backward.

Some are so massive you can drive a car through their trunks, carved into tunnels by human hands.

Rocks sparkle with such beauty you’d think they were gemstones of great value — yet they are simply stones, crafted by God.

These are only a few of the gifts God placed on this earth for us to enjoy.

And yet… we do not glorify Him for these gifts.

God gave us His most precious possession — His Son, Jesus — and still, we do not glorify Him.

Man must have very poor eyesight if he cannot see the wonders God has placed before him.

Instead of worshiping the Creator, he chooses to idolize objects that are ugly, empty, and powerless.

Jesus gave everything for us, yet we have pushed Him out of our lives.

We have replaced Him with things that do nothing, offer nothing, and save nothing.

God gave us Jesus.

God gave us the beauty of this world.

And man has turned away from both.

Even the houses of worship — the very places meant to honor Him — have grown silent.

They rarely speak His name.

They do not glorify the One they gather to worship. They don’t even talk about the One who died for their salvation —Jesus Christ.

People carry the name “Christian,” yet many have been called out to follow the world instead of calling the world to follow Jesus. The world is evangelizing Christians, instead of Christians evangelizing the world.

They still carry His name… but they no longer walk in His commandments.

The Bible is clear: all of creation will be redeemed in Christ.

When Adam fell, it wasn’t only humanity that was fractured — all creation was subjected to the curse of sin.

Creation groans, waiting for the day Christ renews the earth.

And when that day comes, all creation will cry out, no longer muted by sin, no longer silenced by the fall.

Jesus gave us His all.

He rescued us from certain eternal death.

Yet the very people He created have turned their backs on Him.

Not all — but most of society has traded the Savior for things that have never done anything for them.

Jesus gave His life.

He died, was buried, and rose again on the third day.

He ascended into heaven and will one day return for His bride and to judge the world.

We are entering the most important season of our faith — Resurrection Day.

This should stir our hearts to cry out His glory, His praises, and our love for the One who saved us.

Because if we don’t…

the rocks surely will.

(Luke 19:40)
