Remember when you were kids and teams needed to be chosen? If you were lucky enough to be captain of one of the teams, you always tried to choose the best players first - well, that's normally what happens!
Sometimes we treat God in this way. We think we are the captain of the team and naturally God would want to be on my team. In truth, should it not be the other way around? God is always the Captain and we must do all we can to be on his team. Thankfully, God wants us on his team, despite the fact that we drop the ball more often than not. That's Grace!
We open ourselves up for huge disappointment when we mistakenly believe we can manipulate God onto our team, regardless of what our team stands for. God is the rightful Captain and his teams always play for love, truth, peace, justice and mercy.
"I do not boast that God is on my side. I humbly pray that I am on God's side." - Abraham Lincoln
Join the right team.
