It's Monday morning and I have a whole new definition of March Madness. I sat down to my computer 1 hour and 30 minutes ago to start on this blog and it has taken my office computer this long to let me on line and into the blog to start typing.Amazing!
So I wanted to quiz you and see if you know what the most quoted BIblical story is in the world of sports. Take a minute to think of all the analogies that are used in sports and see what you think it is. With the NCAA Basketball tournament coming up this phrase is used a lot, "David vs. Goliath". They will use this phrase to match up 1 vs. 16 seeds, to show the difference between teams like University of North Carolina and Duke, against teams like East Tennessee State and Cleveland State and so on. You have a colossal major university up against a school that most people don't even know exists. That's what's fun about the NCAA tourney, seeing kids at smaller schools get a chance to play on teh same floor as the teams they possibly grew up dreaming of playing for. It's all good fun.
But over and over we will here the phrase "David vs. Goliath" and there is one major problem with that. The sports world still thinks that Goliath is the favorite. In reality we know David, and we know his love for the Lord and also that he was chosen by the Lord so we know that Goliath was absolutely no match for David. So again ESPN and the sports world has got it all wrong. Goliath is the underdog and David is the powerful favorite.
Thanks for reading and ahve a great day!
