I read the other day that 58 % of sport
fans pray that their team will win. I'm not sure what to make of that, other
than wild speculation concerning the spiritual condition of Atlanta Falcon fans
during this year’s Super Bowl.
Think about it, 58 %, so how would, or more
importantly, how should God respond to those prayers? Is the outcome of
professional and amateur sports dictated not by the warriors on the field but
instead by the warriors on their knees?
I know that God cares about us and the
Bible even tells us that He cares about the sparrows, but I'm not really
convinced that He cares all that much about sports.
I realize that God has an infinite ability
to answer prayers but I sometimes wonder if believers have a limited ability or
desire to pray. And if that is the case maybe the reason some folks find it
hard to pray for the safety and salvation of their loved ones and for their
church is because they’ve spent all their prayer resources on hockey games and
weather. I don’t want you to stop praying, but maybe we need to refocus
our prayers where they have eternal consequences and let the players actually
win the game.
Have a great week and remember: To see
what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
