Celebrate Football Or Jesus?


Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Revelation 2:4

Football season in the United States is just about over. Why is it people can be ‘fanatical’ about their team but not Jesus? First you can and should be a number one fan of Jesus before football or any other recreational activity or hobby. What do you spend most of your time talking about? Are you the least bit excited to know Jesus’ better or fall back in love with Him? Maybe you were there once but something drew you away. 

I realize this devotion may in fact be ‘preaching to the choir’ because those who care little about things of the spirit won’t even bother reading this. That makes me sad. It is the Holy Spirit’s job to bring conviction not a nagging friend, spouse, or parent. Take a look at your own devotion to Christ. Is there a fire in your belly? Do you schedule quiet time? Is church a priority? 

I challenge all readers in 2018 to really really put the Lord Jesus Christ first. First in your day. First in your thoughts. First in your passions. First in your marriage. First in your parenting or grand parenting. First on Sunday before running out to other things vying for your attention. Give Him your all and be a number one fan! 

PRAYER: Father I lift up those people who I know who don’t really love you like they used to or so it appears. I pray for all readers to give God first place in their daily life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
