Yep...that's right. I've decided to talk about a hot topic. I just watched Tim Tebow make a winning pass to win the game tonight for the Broncos. I saw him take a knee and thank God.
There are two things I've witnessed when it comes to Tebow and people's reactions to him. First, there are some that applaud him and his faith. He is unashamed of his deep rooted faith in a God he knows has brought him so much opportunity and favor. Then, there are those that are disgusted with his displays of Christianity. They wish him ill and sometimes sound a bit violent at their distaste for him. I witnessed both tonight.
Does God care about the NFL? Don't think so. He really has bigger fish to fry.
Does God care about Tim Tebow? Absolutely. Just like He cares about each of us.
Is God helping Tim Tebow win? I think so. I honestly believe that God is showing Tebow favor because of His faith. In turn, Tebow makes sure he points to where the glory should go. When we have faith in God, we know that nothing we do is on our own...but that God gifts us with talents and abilities to bring Him glory. In this instance, it doesn't mean God loves the Broncos more than any other team. It means that God is using a young man's faith in Him to bring Him glory. I don't care about the Broncos. However, I'm rejoicing for Tebow as he goes through this season of divine favor.
Not only do I believe God is using Tebow to be a witness, but I also believe Tebow's positivity is making an impact on those around him. His positive outlook is certain to boost the morale of his team and the fans that cheer for them. This attitude should speak volumes to Christians everywhere. Our faith brings an air of positivity to those around us. In many ways, I believe this also makes the team better players. Are they perfect? No. Will they lose? Eventually.
Instead of being disgusted with a young man's display of faith, we should applaud his positivity and upbeat nature. We watch players display arrogance and violence all the time. We sit back and don't really say much. Then we see a young kid take a knee to thank his Creator and we get all up in arms. What a double standard.
Good for you, Tebow. Just remember to still give God glory when you lose. The Lord giveth...and the Lord taketh away...blessed be the name of Lord...anyway (yeah...I added that last word).
