The Right Stock!

1 Samuel 2: 2

2 "There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no rock like our God.”

Monday night’s Badger game, disappointed the die hard, faithful basketball fan.

It almost seemed to be the perfect time for a win, since the last NCAA championship happened in Wisconsin 74 years ago.

I wonder if we might put too much stock in a basketball game, and not enough stock in God?

There is no one like our God, but there may be some Badger faithful, who just don’t want to hear that.

Even in disappointment, God remains the same.

Sure, it would’ve been nice for the Badger’s to win, but had we lost God, now that would’ve been truly disappointing.

There was a time when winning and losing consumed a lot of my time.

I use most of my time these days, getting to know my God more intimately.

I met with 4 other faith-filled men yesterday morning, who stayed up late to watch basketball, but got up early to pray.

Maybe our focus is on the wrong things. Is that possible?

At the end of the day, God will never leave us.

I think I penned something similar, when the Packers blew a double digit lead in the NFC championship game.

Just like back in January, the world still hasn’t ended…

·         Ask yourself: “What things in life, do I put more stock in, than I put stock in God?”
