Is God A Sports Fan?

January 12, 2017

God must be a sports fan. A lot of athletes appear to think the Almighty has a plan for their valiant play and victory. Why would the Almighty pick one player over another? Because one player is a believer and one’s an atheist? Does God love sports?  But your question, "Why would God use his energies and awesome powers to worry if one team beat another?" The answer is simple, the Lord honors greatness, and when a player is giving their all, he rewards this type of action. They want this from all of us, and wouldn't this be the biggest lesson for all humankind?

Think of the miraculous play called the "Hail Mary." Nine times out of ten, the play doesn't work and is the last gasp effort by the team who didn't deserve to win. God decided this because they didn't give their best effort. Prayers got answered one time out of ten when the play does work, and the Hail Mary landed into the player's hands, who performed with passion and honor. Avoid calling me a bad word, and stay with me on this.

Sometimes bad things happen on the sports field or court, so why would the Divine One allow such things to happen? Simple answer again, Mr. Big can't control injuries because of the fragility of man. God doesn't want injuries, nor doesn't want you to suffer a torn ACL or rotator cuff. God wants you to come back stronger and tougher, and he will guide you on the path you need to be on.

Okay, here's the one you need to consider and yell at me if you need to. So, the Chicago Cubs waited 109 years to win the World Series? Are you kidding? You ask, "Why in Hell would the Baseball Gods make the good people of Chicago wait so long to win the big one?" I will take a shot at this and say, "Can you ever find better fans than in Chicago?" They are humbled and expect nothing every year, but they still flock to the Mecca of baseball called "Wrigley Field." Every adoring baseball fan wants to experience the place.

When the bad guy wins, the team with the dirty players or those who got lucky and somehow are victorious; why would God allow this to happen? Answer…YAWN...Sometimes he has bigger fish to fry, and the Almighty will not oversee every moment of every game. Now, if you want to throw Cleveland at me and why those poor folks need to be tortured all the time, I can say LeBron James. God only made one of those guys, and they had him.
