Then He Smiled At Me
5 Dec 2007
As I was riding in my car this afternoon I was listening to a Christmas song on the radio and I know that we have all heard this song so many times, “The Little Drummer Boy”, but for the first time, by the time it reached the end I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I guess the words of the song had never really sunk in before. I had always thought it was a cute little Christmas song of a cute little boy playing his drums for the baby Jesus.
I realized during the song that even as a baby, Jesus knew us and new our heart. After all the Word of God says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Matthew 1:23) So as the cute little boy played his drum, he was playing for God Himself.
God has given every one a gift or talent of some kind. Maybe you aren’t sure what gift you have yet, but you can be sure that you do have one, or maybe even more than one. Maybe you feel the gift, or talent you have is insignificant and no one notices. Your God given gifts and talents are noticed by the One who really counts. If I can’t totally convince you, listen to the lyrics of “The Little Drummer Boy” and pay close attention to the very end of the song.
There will be a day when we will all have a chance to lay our crown, our gift, or gifts at the feet of Jesus Himself and we will have a chance to actually live out the lyrics of this song. We will feel as the young drummer boy felt when, “Then He smiled at me, Me and my drum.
