Here in the deep south, they love their football. Friends, it's just a game! As an outside observer, I can see that it has almost become idol worship. There is nothing wrong with good clean fun but I must say it has come to the point where people are down right mean if their team does not win. What happened to good sportsmanship?What if we were this zealous about the lost? We must be careful where we put our heart and our praise.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Luke 12:33-34 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. I can not help but wonder what the world would be like if we put our time and efforts in helping others. In this season when we celebrate our Lord Jesus' birth, can we just remember the lost and hurting of the world? Reach out to someone who needs a little tender loving care. You will be blessed beyond your imagination! Lord God in heaven, I pray for this world who so desperately needs You. Don't let us shut our eyes to the ones who need You. Lord, I ask for Your care for the ones who are on missions to take You to the nations and for Your harvest to be mighty. Amen
