What2Say2Day? Yesterday's post on Tim Tebow and the craze surrounding his belief got me thinking about some things. Firstly, let me say that I agree with the author of yesterday's devotion in saying I don't think God would choose one team over another in such a way as to ensure their victory. That's not to say God doesn't have a favorite team, I'd be the last person to say yes or no to that one. I'm just saying God wouldn't allow special favors to be used for that purpose - or would God?
The bible is full of stories where God favors one person, or a people, and ensures their victory. Think about what happened to the Hittites, or who won the battle of David and Goliath. Think about the battle at Jericho or how Moses was able to save God's people time and time again. So, would it be unfair to say God doesn't have a favorite and maybe gives them an edge in battle?
The difference between what we read about in the bible and what people are saying about the Tebow craze is this - God's glory versus man's glory. If you ever listen to Tim Tebow speak after a game he never takes any credit for the win. All of his praise goes to God. Although, to listen to the various media people you would think it's all about Tebow. What if, just what if, God is trying to speak through Tebow and these small victories are just a way to have God's voice heard?
This is the year to begin listening. God has sent us many prophets in our history; Martin Luther King Jr, John Lennon, Mother Teresa, and a few others. What if, and this is a big if, Tim Tebow is one of them? Are we listening to what he has to say?
Hmmm
