"But those who obey God's Word really do love Him. That is the way to know whether or not we live in Him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Christ did." 1 John:5,6 NLT
Athletes are either religious, superstitious, or both. I've seen guys wear the same game socks for a whole season because they felt it would make them play better. I've also seen guys pray the prayer of the anointing oil and spread it over their injuries before a game. We often say the Lords prayer before games, but how many of the men who recite that prayer really buy into it? We are quick to praise the Lord in victory, some even in defeat. My question is, that when the lights are turned off, the bleachers are empty as well, do we walk the walk our talk suggests. I know things tend to get tough for believers, I mean even Peter denied Jesus in public. With that said we have to do less talking about our faith and lead by example. Our true measure of faith is not to confess openly then deny Him in private. Let us strive to garner enough integrity to be as steadfast in the Lord in private as we are in public! Stay thirsty my friends...
