Well, sports fans, it is finally here! THE season - college football. For me, the summer is the worst sports time of the year. Nothing to watch. No reason to watch ESPN. Boring.... However, 2008 was slightly better (only slightly) due to the Olympics, if that's your thing. But now... It begins. I circled Aug. 30 on my calendar literally months ago... probably right after the NCAA Final Four - congrat's KU fans. Fall is almost in the air and footballs are flying. The question... which SEC team will beat which Big 10 team this time!
And then it hit... the day arrived and it was just another day. Something has changed. It was just another day. Priorities change as we age. Not only that, but perhaps the sports patch I have been wearing is working. Psalm 34 tells us: "Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart." I have finally realized what that means. It does not mean "seek God and He will be so pleased with you He will give you what you want. It DOES mean He will put desires into your heart. He will clean out the old ones, and replace them with other desires, better desires. The "desires of your heart" will be the ones He gives you. Therefore, all the desires we seek will be toward what He has put there. That is when and why He will give us the desires of our hearts!
College football is here... I better get some sleep.
