The Razorbacks and the Cardinals won on Saturday... and since I love sports, I really like to look for life applications in baseball and football games.
In the Hog game, two freshmen caught my eye: Alex Tejada is the placekicker and Crosby Tuck is a tight end, and both played a big role in the Razorbacks' 46-26 home opener on Saturday. Tejada kicked 4 field goals and 4 extra points, and Tuck caught the only touchdown pass of the contest.
In the Cardinal game, Rick Ankiel hit a grand slam into the first row of the right center field bleachers, which put the Redbirds on top for good; they eventually beat the Reds 8-5.
Each of these athletes share something in common: they were ready when opportunity knocked. They were prepared... we get to see them in the spotlight and, if we're not careful, we assign some luck or good fortune to their performance. But in each case, there were many hours and much work involved in preparation for their big moment.
and they were ready.
So many times we simply aren't ready. We are not prepared... and every day we overlook opportunities to serve and to help and to show Jesus to those around us...
Let me encourage all of us to be watchful for those opportunities... and to always be ready when those opportunities present themselves!
Blessings!
