The Crystal Ball / David Jeremiah

 

The Crystal Ball As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. Isaiah 66:13 What’s your most embarrassing moment? In 2012, the visiting father of an Alabama football player bumped into a table and shattered the $30,000 Waterford crystal AFCA Coaches’ Trophy. No one knows who was most mortified, the man who did it or his son, the Crimson Tide player. Out of mercy, their names were never revealed, but it was a very embarrassing fumble.[1]

We all have these types of fumbles in life, and most of us are haunted by moments when we managed to embarrass ourselves. Too often we find ourselves, not in the red zone, but in the red-face zone. God knows every time we bobble the ball, lose yardage, or get sacked. He doesn’t need any replays. He sees every step, knows every slip, and experiences with us every victory or defeat. Yet He still loves us. We can be fully transparent with Him because there’s nothing we can hide. He comforts us like a loving mother. Leave your mistakes with the Master and toss your trophies at His feet. Learning to do that is a game changer.   Jesus has seen us at our worst and still loves us. Randy Alcorn
