Now that the Super bowl is over what is a baseball/football fan to do? Hockey? Boring. NBA basketball? Fair, but not great. I do have some Rockies games saved on the DVR...
So between now and March madness there is not much else to do for a Colorado Sports fan. Thankfully pitchers and catchers will report to spring training soon, which means God's favorite sport (baseball) will be starting again soon. With baseball season comes springtime. New life. The anticipation that summer is right around the corner! For me the start of baseball season has deep meaning. Every year is a fresh start for all major league teams. Who knew last year that the worst franchise in baseball would make it to the world series and have a banner year? Who knew the year before that our Rockies would put together a run for the ages and make it to the Series as well? The odds were not good to say the least. We all need the hope that spring brings with it.
So what should I do between now and baseball? Thankfully the hope of spring is springing a little soon this year... Yes, I am getting married to the most wonderful woman God could have brought me.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.NIV
The sovereignty of God is the most profound doctrine in the Bible. Only God can be sovereign and still allow free-will. Humans can only be sovereign when free-will is taken away. God in His sovereignty allows humans free-will and still orchestrates things behind the scenes for our good and His glory. Only God can to take two people that were broken by life and circumstances and work things for good. He always has a plan. Our job is to keep our hearts right, obey Him and trust Him with the results. Thank God He is sovereign! No one likes pain when we are going through it, but if we can keep an eternal perspective we can cooperate with God as He works His sovereign plan through our submitted lives. He is a restorer, a redeemer, and an incredible Savior!
Jude 24
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy- 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. NIV
See you after the honeymoon!
