Tim Tebow Worried?

     There is talk that Peyton Manning might sign a contract with the Denver Broncos.  Will Tim Tebow become second string, be traded, who will get him?  All these thoughts are probably making him pace up and down and down and up, right?

     Well, let's see.  While the newspapers are spreading the donkey fodder and hype about the endless possibilities, Tim Tebow has been busy.  He paid the way for Preston Winslow and his family to come to Tampa.  Preston Winslow is 4, and has leukemia.  The doctors have said that his body has stopped responding to treatment.  Tim invited Preston to play some football with him at the D1 training facility.  Some things are more important than being quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

     Also in Tampa, there was a fundraiser for a wounded Army Ranger, Romy Comargo.  Tim Tebow came in unannounced and surprised the wounded warrior.  There are some things that are more important than being quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

     One day Jesus was going through Jericho and a publican named Zacchaeus had climbed a sycamore tree to see him.  Jesus stopped the procession and invited Himself to Zacchaeus' house to eat.  That day eternal life was imparted to a sinner.

     On another occasion, Jesus was passing through Jericho and blind Bartemaeus cried out to Him.  Jesus was on His last trip through Jericho.  He was headed to Jerusalem where He knew He would be crucified.  He had a lot of things on His mind.  But, when He heard the plea of a desperate man, He stopped what He was doing and change His original plan to include healing a blind man.

     A lot of things come along in life that seem to eat up our time and our patience.  A lot of things hurt.  A lot of things make us angry.  In today's economy and the election just around the corner, our minds can be filled with all kinds of questions.  Yet, into our lives, every day, there are opportunities presented to us.  If we make Jesus Christ to be TRULY our Lord, we'll set other things aside for the joy of helping those that He places in our paths to bless.

     The choice is ours.  God has already made His choice.  He knows your good points and bad points.  He knows exactly who you can bless and how you can bless.  His desire is for His children to put aside the petty things that can clog up our lives and put Him first.  If we open our hearts and spiritual ears to Him, we will find that He has our future laid out for us.  What we should be concerned about is----Who has God placed before me today, and how can I be a blessing?
