Jackie Evancho, a 10-year-old girl from Pennsylvania, stunned the judges and audience with her opera singing on “America’s Got Talent” on Tuesday night. Her beautiful voice sounded so full and mature that some people wondered if she might be lip synching. It just didn’t seem possible that someone so young could be that good. One of the judges, Howie Mandel, asked her to improvise a few notes just to prove to people that it really was her doing the singing. She came through in such a way as to leave no doubt that it indeed was her own voice that was amazing people.

Paul the apostle wrote to Timothy and said, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.” (1 Tim.4:12).

Young people are capable of doing great things for God, if only they are given the chance. We need to give them opportunities to shine and encourage them to do their very best. America needs to know that “The Kingdom’s Got Talent”.
