I am sure every NBA player would like to be a starter, everyone would like to be on the 1st team...and for sure everyone wants to get into the game. I suppose that in the course of every players career they will get the opportunity to start at least once. I am certain though that every player even the most regular starters will spend some time on the bench.
This thought occured to me about the "sixth man" or the super sub. Even though this guy doesn't start his head is IN the game, his thoughts are disciplined. He isn't sitting there
with a crummy, egostical, mumbling and complaining attitude. If he does "cop a tude" he won't stay in the game long if he gets in at all.
We need to remember that Jesus is always the All Star and we as His body support Him. We have to keep our hearts in the Kingdom and our eyes on the prize....being conformed to image of the Son of God. We can't allow ourselves to become distracted by the cares of this life, riches or fame, self pity or the many other things we could be tempted with.
Will you be ready the next time the Father looks down the bench and points at you?
I'm sure you can be. His grace is sufficient for you and His mercy endures forever.
SELAH
