Sports fans football season is here! I miss the basketball season. Summer track season is over. I like baseball but it is a highlight sport for me. It is just a little too slow. I watched Tiger win a few tournaments in workmen like fashion. But I love to watch a good football game. I love the fearless and innovative attacks the offense must engage in and the bone crunching hits distributed by the defense as it defends its end zone. The coaches must devise some very sophisticated systems. There are playbooks for offense, defense, and special teams. It is no wonder they train year round and watch film continuously. Every team has a “2 minute” offense which requires them to hurry to the line of scrimmage without huddling. I don’t ever remembering being a part of a no huddle offense, in sports or life.
Janet and I huddle each morning before we take the field. We give thanks for what was and for who He is. We ask for the new grace and mercy that will allow us to do His will His way. We ask that He forgive us as we forgive others. Feed us with manner and wisdom. Help us to recognize the principalities that would cause us to lose our way. We acknowledge that the field of battle has already been subdued and His glory reigns. We break the huddle (amen) and let the garage door up.
The no huddle offense is really hard to pull off on the football field. It is virtually impossible to do battle with “this man’s” world without huddling with God before the play. You won’t be able to sustain your drive and field position will always be a struggle…
1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing..
