The American Bible Challenge: The Eye of the Tebow
Read Philippians 4:1-14.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. — Philippians 4:6
Tim Tebow loved to write this verse under his eyes, but it’s a verse we should have written in our hearts. Many times we will need to call up this verse and claim it in our situations.
It’s hard to imagine quarterbacks living this verse, especially in the extreme situations they face.
I’m sure Tim Tebow muttered quick prayers in desperate situations, but notice he claimed the verse before the kickoff, not during the fourth quarter. He was prepared for the worst situations, setting his heart monitor before things got tough, not trying to remember the verse while his heart rate skyrocketed.
While things are calm, we need to tell ourselves not to worry.
We need to present every possible request now, so when something comes up we’re not surprised. We need to know now that God can handle anything, even if we fumble the ball.
