I'm not a big football fan, so football games
don't usually excite me. But years ago, I got
a spiritual insight while watching a Super
Bowl game that made me want to jump up
and preach! It was 1999 when, in the last two
minutes of play, quarterback Kurt Warner
threw his now-famous, game-winning pass
to Isaac Bruce.
Seeing Kurt Warner draw back his arm
and scan the fi eld for an open receiver, I got a
revelation. That's what the Lord is doing!
He has in His hand good plans and
abundant blessings, and He's looking to get
them to someone. He's looking for someone
who will reach out with the hand of faith
and take what He has prepared for them. As
2 Chronicles 16:9 says, "The eyes of the
LORD run to and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show himself strong in the behalf
of them whose heart is perfect [or turned
wholly] toward him."
In other words, like Kurt Warner with that
football in his hand, God is always looking for
a receiver!
