Who’s a football fan?? Me, too! I know you’ve heard of Herschel Walker. I have to say, even though he went to the University of Georgia (haha) I admire this guy tremendously. He was talking about God with one of the pastors I like to watch and he talked about God in a way that I want to share today.
He described the typical Christian’s relationship with God, how a lot of us treat Him like a spare tire that we hope is there when things go bad though we rarely think of Him when things are fine. He later compared God to a blocker like in his football days. That there can never be and will never be a better blocker in your life than God. The bible says that God goes before us making our crooked places straight and making streams for us in the desert. God promised that He will fight your battles for you if you will just stand still and have faith in Him.
It’s so simple that we oftentimes miss it. We just can’t imagine it’s that easy because everything else in life seems so hard. But Jesus said, “Come to me all of you who are tired from the heavy burden you have been forced to carry. I will give you rest.” You just have to accept it. Done – end of story. It IS that easy, friends! Once you TRULY surrender your will to God and allow Him to take over in every area of your life you will see life get more peaceful, more enjoyable, more successful. It’s like having a friend whose the CEO of a booming business with open positions but you go without a job because you haven’t asked your friend for help. Stop carrying your load like an unsolicited martyr and let God be God in your life! Release your fears and worries to Him and let the Creator of the universe make good on His promise to bring you into a prosperous, abundantly fulfilling life!
