This video made me stop and think. This man spent so much time and cared so much for a tiny chameleon. Yet, he was just a man. Does not God care that much for every soul? Would we go to another country, learn the culture, travel rugged roads, pay for extra transport needs, and search through the night to find one soul? Would it be worth it? Perhaps we might say that this man had a lot more money than we do. That is probably true, but he does not have more money than God. I pray today that God will help me have compassion on souls and teach me to care. Psalm 49:8 says, "The redemption of their soul is precious."
Last night we watched a video about a man who went to Madagascar in search of a tiny chameleon. He spent money to get there, took time to understand the culture so he could do his work more effectively, traveled over very rugged roads, paid for gas to transport his vehicle across bodies of water on a ferry, and searched rain forests at night with a flashlight. He did all this to find this tiny chameleon because he was concerned that this chameleon would not survive if the rain forest were destroyed.
