Thank the Lord
Streamers are coming down from the ceiling of the large indoor sports arena. The crowd had erupted in thundering applause. The modern day gladiators of the home team had won the championship. The sports reporter grabbed a hold of the 7 foot sports celebrity and shoved a microphone in front of him. Trying to avoid the dripping sweat which rolled off his nose and chin the reporter started to ask him questions.
"Can you put into words what you feel at this moment" she asked.
He answered "Everybody knows what I am going to say. The Lord took us through this series and brought it home"
The Lord helped the modern christian gladiators triump the other christian gladiators. Why does the Lord get involved in our petty squabbles, our sporting events that earn the winners millions of dollars (and the bookies a tidy sum as well), and our prayers for the traffic light to stay green a little while longer?
Why does the Lord at the same time stand by and watch villages wash away in the flood? the little kid die of a hole in his heart?
